Hi Philippe, Many thanks for your quick response. I think the "tables décennales" are the civic / state records (rather than Church records), is this correct? I looked on the family search web site and found thousands of records for films related to "tables décennales". Could you guide me a little further please? Where do I find the references to the films of the "tables décennales" where I can search to order the correct one from the LDS? Is there anywhere else that I should be looking? Thanks in advance, Penny
