Association "Law 1901" of Saint-Genès-Champanelle, 63 , France

They took place every five or six years starting in 1836. Completing the questionnaire presented by investigators recruited by municipalities is mandatory. They did not take place during the two world wars.
Censuses are a valuable tool for genealogists to trace siblings.
They can only be consulted freely up to 1946. Only historical research allows consultation of the years 1954, 1968 and 1975.

Here is a table summarizing the information they collected depending on the years.
This information has changed over the years.

Individual 1 is Marie Fontfreyde, a grocer, a single woman, aged 46. Her household is number 1 in the village of Saint-Genès-Champanelle. Household number 2 consists of three members joined by a brace:
-René Fontfreyde, the father, a farmer, aged 60, a married man
-Anne Astier, his wife, aged 45, a married woman
-Marie Fontfreyde, his daughter, aged 17, a daughter
-Marie Fontfreyde, his second daughter, aged 14, a daughter.
Note:
The household number resets to 1 for each new village. We can therefore know the number of households in each village And even the number of inhabitants if we count the individuals in each village one by one.
At the end of the register, we normally (but not always) find a summary of the number of inhabitants per village or district and for the entire commune.
In this case, the number of inhabitants per village and the commune of Saint-Genès-Champanelle is indicated.
