History of my French House
Hi, I have an old farmhouse in France, and am trying to find when it was built etc...
I have only found the name of an artist who sketched it, and a family who lived here, but can't find the dates. French geneaology sites don't seem to have much info.
Thanks for any help.

Hi, Yes, the Mairie put me onto a woman who works at our medieval tower in the village. She has just given me a sheet of paper with a little info.(it took her a year to do it!)
It's the names of families that lived here around 1580, but as it's a part of the farm complex, divided into different houses, she doesn't know if mine was built later. the paper is from the archives department and says it was a stronghold with noble families.
As I run a B&B here, it would have been nice to advertise the year.....eg: 16th century farmhouse.
Thanks for all replies.
