Possible Sources for French Jewish burials:

• Cimetieres de la Ville de Paris, Cimetieres de Paris, 71 rue des Rondeaux, 75020 Paris, France. Try to give year of death.
• French Laws Concerning ALL Cemeteries and "Abandoned Graves": see Paris
• Jewish Cemeteries in France: 
• Archives of the Jewish Consistory [17 rue Saint Georges, 75009 Paris, France] has lists of people who had an official religious burial. The place of death (address) and the cemetery are mentioned but one must know the year of burial. Jean-Pierre Bernard contributed the postal codes after the town name. (French only).

Thanks to Toni Kamins for use of her Complete Jewish Guide to France in descriptive material of various places in France. [October 2009]
