22,000 land registry plans available online

The Departmental Archives of Finistère have put online a tool allowing you to carry out research in all the documents of the “Napoleonic” land register and the renovated land register. 22000 plans are accessible.

This new resource is of interest to both individuals and specialists. Established by the law of 15 September 1807 for tax purposes, this so-called “Napoleonic” or old land register traces, commune by commune, the state of built or unbuilt properties. It is now used by historians to reconstruct urban and rural history and to study the evolution of landscapes, but also by genealogists to trace the history of a family home or understand the environment of their ancestors.

Practical information.
The research space is accessible via the Departmental Archives website:
