Mission

The mission of the France Project is to support research and collaboration on profiles of French people, as well as people of French heritage or origin, from 1500 to now. For people who were living before 1200, please see the European Aristocrats Project. Also note that due to sparse resources, the France project may not be able to help for profiles of people born close to 1200.
