You might start by running the last name you are researching through Google or HotBot or another search engine.If you can read French, run the search asking for sites in French (saves time).You may have to wade through a lot of sites, but I've found personal websites, regional genealogical society sites, etc., by doing this.Also, occasionally French researchers show up on Genforum.If you can identify one, they can guide you.It's my understanding that most French records are kept in city or church archives, and so are a little harder to reach than in the US.Good luck!
