Thematic research
Foreigners who came to Aveyron
Your ancestors emigrated? Come to Aveyron by constraint or by envy, free of their movements or required to live in, belonging to a religious community or working in the construction of dams or in mines.
A found or abandoned child
Your ancestor did not have a known father or mother? Was it abandoned or found exposed? The family trees often include branches concerning a assisted child for which one cannot progress ... Did your ancestor become an orphan? Who took him in, was he placed in a nurse or in a foster family? Let us try to reconstruct their history with the available archives.
The biography of an ancestor
Not all of our ancestors were inventors, artists, pirates or notaries! Some have lived ordinary lives, but do you really know it? Consulting archives can sometimes uncover unexpected or hidden events.
History of a village or a news item
You need specific elements on a person, a village, a news item or on a historical subject to complete your personal research, use our all-inclusive packages and choose the number of hours or days of our service according to your budget and your needs.
Land search
Dispute with a right of passage in Aveyron
The right of way is often synonymous with conflicts with neighbors. Whether you own the landlocked land or the land used to access this land, you need the various notarial acts to justify or contest this right of way.
In order to facilitate your process, we suggest that you search for documents retracing the history of the plot concerned in Aveyron. This will save you time to put together your complaint file.
Trace the history of your house
For a gift or for yourself
You bought a house or an apartment. You want to know its history, its inhabitants, its owners, its date of creation. Whether it's the family home that was built by your ancestors ... or not, or a neighboring property that intrigues you. If you have transformed a building into a rural lodge, you may want to know its history to complete the welcome booklet for your guests.
We invite you to know the list of its successive owners, the evolution of its land (value, area) and its content (building, type of land) over time, until the origin of the Napoleonic cadastre. (around 1810).
For any research beyond the cadastre, an estimate will be drawn up to you.
Help on the Aveyron cadastre matrices
As of June 2020, the departmental archives of Aveyron have put a large part of the cadastre documents online. These allow you to reconstitute by yourself the owners of a plot. This "remote" search will not allow you to retrieve all of the elements mentioned in the above offer. However, it makes it possible to make a synthetic frame called a "time line".
If you do not know how to do this research, if you are stuck in the different matrices, then we offer you
- either face-to-face or remote training,
- either a one-off help to unblock your research,
- or the digitization of documents available only in the reading room.
The price depends on the items you have and the option you choose.
Your family tree
To go back in time
You dream of knowing all your ancestors whether they are in your paternal branch or your maternal branch. What it does to you is an ancestry tree
Select a branch
You only want the ancestors who bear your name (patronymic lineage), your father's branch (agnatic tree) or your mother (cognatic tree). You want ascendants and all their children (mixed tree) .... everything is possible while respecting the legislation in force.
Find cousins
You want to find the descendants of an ancestor and get to know living people in your family, maybe to make a cousin. It is a tree of descent that must be undertaken
