Hello-

According to the website of the French Natural Archives, they are not
accepting any *online* requests for documents held at Pierrefitte-sur-Seine
until November. If anyone is planning to go there before then, I'm wondering
if you could copy a naturalization file for me. I have all the necessary
details. Please respond privately if you would be able to do this.

Thank you very much.

Bonjour Evelyne,

According to the information available on the site of the "Archives de
Paris", marriages will be available on the internet with a delay of 75
years. (see below for the french without accents)

Since the marriage you are researching is only 70 years ago you have
two choices - wait 5 years or go to the archives which are less than 10km from
Saint Maurice at Porte des Lilas, Paris 20.

Suivant les preconisations de la CNIL (Commission nationale de
l=E2=80=99informatique et des libertes), les tables des naissances et des
mariages sont diffusables sur Internet a compter d=E2=80=99un delai de 75
ans, celles des deces apres un delai de 25 ans.

Recte means corrected. If when the birth was registered the name of the
father was given as the surname, some clerk may have gone through it
later and corrected it to the surname of the mother because they were not
legally officially married. Also if a name was misspelled the clerk may have
gone later and corrected it.

The moderator correctly replied that we've discussed this many times in the
past, and you will find answers in the discussion list archives... yet, I'm going
to repeat the answer because this is a difficult concept to master (much less
remember!).

Background: In the 1800s in Galicia, Austria Jews believed that marriage was
a private, religious event, and most married rabbinically, not civilly. The
Austrian taxes on marriage, and the limitations of who could marry,
exacerbated this. The government, in turn, did not recognize the rabbinical
marriage. Births of children of rabbinical marriages were recorded as
illegitimate and records often contained only the mother's information, or
(depending on the town and year), if the father appeared, both parents were
noted, but the birth record still recorded the child with the mother's surname.

With time, the surname used might be different >from the "legitimate" birth
registration. So German terms came to be used to describe the legal
surname vs. the surname used.

"False" (often abbreviate f.) implies usage and means an individual might be
using the father's surname but officially should be using the mother's
surname due to lack of the required civil marriage. Example: Brown f. Cohen
means the person used Cohen (father's surname) but Brown is the legal
name (mother's surname).

"Recte" (often abbreviated r.) means "legally" or "correctly" or "corrected"
and was used to correct the surname of an individual, sometimes following
a civil marriage between the parents. Example: Brown r. Cohen means the
person used Brown, but Cohen is the legal name.

"Vel" translates to "also known as." The resident was known by both
surnames, maternal and paternal. If vel appears between two given names,
this might signify the Jewish versus secular surname or nickname/kinnui,
versus legal given name. Vel was used mostly with given names and
false/recte with surnames.

Hope this helps
