At familysearch.org, you will find a number of records on microfilm. Go to Library > Place Name > Guiana > French Guiana > Guiana. When you read down the page of a certain reference, click on "For a printable version of this record click here . . . " and you will get a page that has the details you will need to order a particular roll of the film. You can also follow the links for "See also: Suriname." Also wanted to share that in searching for records of the Alsace- Lorraine area (now Germany) in the same time period, it seems when Napoleon arrived, he required what are known as civil registers of each birth, marriage, and death. They were kept, eh, religiously--and separate from church records. You might inquire as well with the French embassy in Washington, asking for someone familiar with France's history in the Caribbean/ South America. Best of luck to you. You may have to make friends with Google translate.
