Genealogy

WARNING : The nominal basis of compagnons which you are about to consult is the result of diverse sources (archives of the retirement fund of “Le Ralliement des compagnons du Devoir”, lists of weavers and saddlers, compagnons who died in 1914-1918 War, compagnonnique press…). In principle, you will not find compagnons who are still alive. This database does not include every compagnon which ever existed. The records are often incomplete, for lack of sources. Nonetheless, this database is regularly updated. You can help us completing the records by sharing your own family information, and you can even illustrate them with portrait photos. Thank you for your support.
