Jaunay - the name, facts and figures 1800-1990
Several issues need to be noted in analysing these figures. Firstly females appear to be under-represented. This may be because in following name trails from the present back in time one follows the male line. Although French records are very detailed, they can be inaccessible to the remote researcher in that the flow of information depends very much on the workload and commitment of the local archivist! Unless you can be quite specific the data will not be forthcoming! Thus to seek siblings of a known person can prove difficult! The French embargo on records less than 100 years old is also a significant barrier.
Apart from my own family most other Jaunays have been initially located by systematic searching through telephone directories and archival indexes. Once a person is discovered I attempt to ascertain the person's relatives from my own database and by seeking birth, death and marriage records for the individual. This has limited success depending on the mobility of the person but usually once I can locate one of the major life events things unfold quite rapidly, especially in France with the comprehensive records available.
The research has been undertaken using a software program called FileMaker Pro. I use this database to maintain all family records and have customised the fields to suit my needs as I have yet to find a commercial genealogical program which will do this.
