Hello everyone!
I am trying to locate records for my mother's maternal family, and am struggling to find good French records on line. Herbert Montagu Butler, b 1875 in Canada, was a naturalized American who moved to Europe in 1897, and lived in the delightfully named Ars-en-Re in Charente Maritime. He married Mary Frances Carew in London in 1898 and they had four children. Laurent b 1899, Marcel b 1900, Georges b 1904 and Marguerite b 1910 all of whom were born in France. There are some headstones in this village for his family but I am trying to find out when Herbert died and where he is buried. This would be after 1920 I guess. Any clues to accessing French records, if they are available on line, would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Nick Bishop, Norwich, England.
