Search in the surname database

The database gathers over 100.000 names of customs agents from offices and brigades of all France, from 18th to 20th century.

The books kept at the Museum are scanned since 1984. Thanks to the help of genealogists, the Documentation Center develops its name databaseto answer requests. The database is not comprehensive. It remains incomplete as all records are not meant to be stored at the museum, and all archives are not yet scanned.

You may also find this type of document in local Archive Services.
