Hi Cathy, French registrations have been filmed by the Mormon Church, and can be ordered on film to a Mormon Family History Centre. But you have to know what district the event occurred in.

Faaa;Papeete;Punaauia;Pirae;Mahina,and Paea

There are also some other names of districts, which are probably also on Tahiti Island
Search under Tahiti in country search in the Library Catalog on
www.Familysearch.org to get the full list.
I do not know which area Papeete Harbour would come under.
The article in question is 23 pages long, and I would rather not scan it as my copy of the book is falling to pieces, but it does contain a 2 page family tree which I would be willing to do. Please contact me if you want it
