	Hello I have been asked by someone if anyone could offer guidance regards looking for BMD records in France . It appears a French chap came to uk and had a couple of children in the 1980s (he is named on their birth certs). He then left and returned to France, possibly married and had further children. Im afraid I have no further details or a name. Does anyone have any advice regarding useful sites or know of anyone who could offer guidance? I gather the lady wants to do the searching for herself if possible as she is reluctant to give this chaps name. Long shot I know. I am heading off to bed now so will respond to any replies tomorrow. Thankyou Cassie

	Such recent records are probably not available online. Some advice on French genealogy in general here: https://familysearch.org/wiki/en/France_Online_Genealogy_Records https://familysearch.org/wiki/en/Category:France_Research_Strategies http://www.cyndislist.com/france
