Alphabetical indexes and recruitment registers
The following are available online :
- Alphabetical military census indexes.
- Recruitment registers.
Established from 1867 by the recruitment services of the army, the alphabetical lists of military censuses are compiled by year class (usually in the recruit's twentieth year) and by recruiting office. They cite the name, first name and serial number assigned by the army.
With this registration number, it is possible to find the registration sheet of the recruit in the recruitment registers themselves, organized in numerical order of the serial numbers. These sheets provide a range of information about each individual such as physical characteristics, successive home addresses, education level or even medical information.
Alphabetical directories and recruitment registers are stored and are searchable records from 1867.
For posting on the Internet, departmental archives normally establish a period of 100 years from the date of recruitment However, based on the order of 20 December 2012 on a general exemption from Article L213.2 of the Heritage Code, indexes and registers can be consulted until 1921, inclusive, so that all World War One soldiers are included.
Under law 2008-696 of 15 July 2008 on archives, alphabetical indexes and recruitment registers can be disclosed to the public in the reading room after of 75 years and are therefore searchable up to 1938, inclusive.
All documents of the period considered, i.e. all those prior to 1921 held at the Departmental Archives of Seine-et-Marne, are available online.
The documents are distributed in three subdivisions of recruitment :
- Melun
- Coulommiers
- Fontainebleau
The recruitment offices cover territories whose boundaries have shifted over time, so it is advisable to consult the alphabetical list of the three subdivisions for the year of the class in question. For each recruiting office the following are available :
- Alphabetical military census indexes.
- Recruitment registers.
These documents are all classified in chronological order.
