I am looking for information on how to find birth and parents records for Jean Baptiste Heguy who was born 21 May 1886, supposedly in Hasparren. His wife is Jeannie May Larcebeau born 5 Oct 1889 at Cambo, France. Can anyone give me ideas on how to find them in France?

Hi

Hasparren and Cambo are in the "département" (county ?) of the "Pyrénées Atlantiques"
link to Hasparren

The archives départementales should be online end 2009.

You can ask for a copy of the records
http://www.entraide-genealogique.org/dem.php#FORMULAIRE
through le Fil d'Ariane, it's free (only benevolent people)

If you need help for French, tell me

and also have a look on this website
www.geneanet.org
it's also in English

Thank you for the information on Hasparren and Cambo. They look like very beautiful places. I have found my Jean Baptiste Heguy. He was born at Hasparren on 21 May 1886 to Jean Heguy born 1857 at St Pee sur Nivelle and his wife Mathilde Daguerre born 1858 at Mouguerre. I cannot find Jean Baptiste Heguy's wife. She is listed as Jeannie M Larcebeau and was born 5 June 1889. When she comes to USA in 1907 she states on her record that she was born at Urcubrae but I cannot find a place that is named anything close to that. On her marriage in 1910 in Los Angeles, California she says she was born at Cambo, France. This record lists her parents as George Larcebeau and Marie Larralde. On her husband's naturalization , he says she was born Hasparren. I ordered the films from Hasparren and Cambo and I cannot find her born in either place. Do you know if Cambo means a town or a canton? Do you have any other ideas on how I could find her birthplace? Sadly I do not know French so this is very difficult for me to figure out. Thank you for any help or suggestions. Chris rcguida@q.com
