In 2016, these files were imported into our database in order to facilitate the research and organisation of the maritime records of your ancestors.
These records collate the
maritime registrations for the districts of Philippeville,
Algiers and Oran. Most of these records are stored in the Archives Maritimes de Toulon, but others were tracked down in the archives of the Ministry of Fisheries in Brittany, after several years of research. In 2012, these 'new' records were digitized and indexed to strengthen our database. They relate to all areas of Algeria and particularly to Oran, records which had been missing until now.
Below is the complete list of files, which have been scanned and computerized:
