Very organized and clear presentation about Filae. This was probably the best webinar I have seen detailing how to use any genealogy website. And the software used for Filae seems amazing and quite user-friendly. Thank you!
Emmanuel Condamine was brilliant! His site, Filae, is much easier to use than any I’ve used in America. His explanations of how the site works and what it does were clear, informative, well demonstrated and very informative!
French Emigrants: They Were Not All Huguenots, or Nobles, or from Alsace-Lorraine
One of the great difficulties for people researching their French immigrant ancestors’ roots is that so little is known outside of France about when and why the French left their country. This dearth of knowledge has led many family historians of the 19th century to presume Huguenot, noble émigré or Alsace-Lorraine ancestry for any ancestor with a French name. The supposition became a family legend that then became a research frustration as more recent family historians attempt to prove what was never more than a misguided supposition.
This webinar looks at the many waves of French migration, as well as the three mentioned in the title, from the 17th to the 20th centuries. The historical reasons for when, why and to where they emigrated will provide the key points to bear in mind when conducting research. The bibliography, in English and French, contains not only books and articles concerning French emigration but a list of websites to aid the researcher.

Lorsqu’un ancêtre ou un lointain cousin a émigré en France et s’y est définitivement installé, il a souvent souhaité devenir français. Il a alors entamé une procédure de naturalisation parfois longue et souvent compliquée… Elle a donné lieu à la constitution d’un dossier conservé aujourd’hui aux Archives nationales, incroyable et essentielle source d’informations sur le demandeur et sa famille. Complexe par ses règles qui n’ont cessé d’évoluer, la naturalisation l’est aussi par la procédure qu’il faut suivre pour vérifier l’existence d’un dossier et pouvoir ensuite le consulter. Heureusement, les Archives nationales ont récemment facilité les démarches. Une fois obtenu, le dossier a toutes les chances de se révéler instructif sur la vie de la famille, en France mais aussi dans le pays d’origine.

Les généalogistes et la guerre franco-allemande de 1870
La guerre franco-allemande de 1870 est un peu oubliée. Elle n’a pas les faveurs des généalogistes, surtout quand on la compare à la Première Guerre mondiale. Sur ce thème ils ont mobilisé leurs compétences de chercheurs et, en valorisant des archives inexploitées, ils ont fait sortir de l’ombre des foules

monseur Commadine spoke beautifully. Thank you for your efforts kathleennigrelle4@gmail.com
Very good presentation. I am looking forward to researching my spouse’s family. He was born in Signy L’Abbaye, Ardennes and his maternal side is going to be easier to research through Filae.
Thankfully, I can read some French.
it gave me the opportunity to see how Filae worked. might be useful to have a you tube tutorial one could access
Filae sounds like a great source/reference addition to those of us with French Ancestors.
Very organized and clear presentation about Filae. This was probably the best webinar I have seen detailing how to use any genealogy website. And the software used for Filae seems amazing and quite user-friendly. Thank you!
Questions asked by others seemed to apply to anything I might ask, the program was well presented. Thank You
Emmanuel Condamine was brilliant! His site, Filae, is much easier to use than any I’ve used in America. His explanations of how the site works and what it does were clear, informative, well demonstrated and very informative!
I liked the information on a service I had heard of before.
