I am looking for any record from France, about his birth, emigration, or anything else. I do not have his parents or family in France. Anything that mentions him in France would be wonderful!

Some records have been located in the United States, and can be viewed on FamilySearch:

Hi:

Do you speak French? If so, I can give you a few links to further your research.

The archives for the Doubs (25) are not online and won't be for a long time. Some one will have to go in person to the archives to search and obtain Dr. Brognard birth certificate. There is a French genealogy group where you can post your inquiry hoping that some one will be able to help you.

Cordially,

Lucie

I do not speak French.

If you know of a good genealogist there who speaks English and French, I would be happy for a link to their website.

Which group are you recommending?
