oldgit72 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I would like to find out about my village/hameau, about it's past, old photos etc. Other than ask the Mairie, are there any places where I could find information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keni Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 A lot of history is now being put on the internet - failing that start with talking to the family with the oldest member of the village - from them you can glean a load of stuff - we have to have all the family with our friends as the old boy only speaks a patois, so his daughter translates into an understandable french for us.

Tony F Dordogne Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Look round for a local history group and find the Archives Departemental in Angouleme, that is the statutory home for all things of record in your Departement and they should be able to help.

Mr Wiggy Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Hi Fellow Old git.I happened upon, Delcampe.fr it's a collector's site and has an abundance of cartes postale going back to the very early 1900s, and I am sure you will find something there. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
