I am looking for any extract from the very first french
census. Is the information below still true? Does anyone know where I could find
anything from 1772?
•
France: The earliest
French census was taken in 1772. Censuses from 1795 to 1836 are statistical and
don't include names. From 1836 to 1936, France took a census every five
years, except in 1871 (taken in 1872) and 1916 (which was skipped entirely).
Unfortunately, France's census records haven't been
microfilmed and indexed, so they're not easily searched.
