I just stumbled onto this site due to an address in Casablanca on a birth record.

Hi Dennis,

:shock:
Fascinating! I put into the search box a common surname in our village here in France, and came up with some unusual databases, for example:

Dictionnaire des individus condamnés à mort pendant la Révolution

Les guillotinés de Paris de la Révolution
Nobles, bourgeois, paysans, personnages connus ou inconnus, ils furent nombreux à passer sous le couperet de la guillotine. Chaque personne peut être identifiée par son nom, son prénom, sa ville de naissance, ses activités, la date et lieu de l'exécution.

Interesting genealogy! You can get the name, surname, birthplace, activities, date and place of execution of those who were guillotined in the French Revolution. So folks, if you have any of those in your family tree... Great stuff!

Cheers,
Sarah
