The official documents (birth, baptism, marriage, death certificates) are the best source of information for the genealogist. Not only do they bring the irrefutable official proof (of days, dates, places...) but they contain a number of important complementary information (like parents, witnesses, annexe comments,...) which permits sometimes to correct certain errors and clarify some doubts.

The certificates relative to the events before 1880 are saved in the State archives where they can be consulted (with photocopies or microfilms). After 1880 the certificates are kept by the registry office of the local authority (commune).

To consult these certificates is a fastidious task. Even in noting a maximum of information, it is often necessary, afterwards to return to the original certificate in order to double check some questions that  arose afterwards.

For this reason, we shall try to assemble and make available a copy of these certificates which have been accumulated during the genealogical research relative to the patronymic DELPERDANGE.

The certificates are filed in 3 categories: birth and baptism certificates, marriage certificates, and death certificates. In each section, the certificates are listed in chronological order.

(*) For confidentality reasons, documents after 1900 are not shown openly on the net.

Furthermore, due to the limited diskspace available for this website, a copy of all the certificates cannot be displayed.

But if you are related to the DELPERDANGE family and linked to the global genealogical tree, send us an email and you will receive a full working copy of this website on CD-ROM with all the links and illustrations.
