**MatchID Advanced Death Records Search Interface** This webpage represents an advanced search interface for the MatchID database, which appears to be a comprehensive French death records search system. The primary purpose of this platform is to enable users to conduct detailed searches through official death records (décès in French), providing a sophisticated tool for genealogical research, administrative verification, or historical documentation. The interface is designed to facilitate precise queries across multiple demographic and geographic parameters, making it a valuable resource for both professional researchers and individuals tracing family histories. The search functionality is structured around key biographical data points, including personal identifiers (surname/nom, first name/prénom, gender/genre), birth information (date, municipality/commune, department/département, and country/pays), and death details (date, age at death/âge, location of death including commune, département, and pays). This comprehensive framework allows users to search using partial information while maintaining the ability to narrow results through multiple filters. The inclusion of both birth and death location data, organized by France's administrative divisions (communes and départements), suggests this system primarily focuses on French civil registration records, which have been systematically maintained since the early 19th century. The interface notably includes a "fuzzy search" option (recherche floue), indicating sophisticated matching algorithms that can accommodate variations in spelling, transcription errors, or incomplete information—common challenges when working with historical documents that may have been handwritten or contain archaic name spellings. This feature is particularly valuable for genealogical research, where names may have evolved over time or been recorded differently by various clerks and officials. This tool appears to serve multiple audiences, from professional genealogists and historians to government officials requiring death certificate verification, and families researching their ancestry. The systematic organization of French administrative geography (commune and département levels) reflects the country's centralized record-keeping system, making this database potentially invaluable for understanding demographic patterns, migration trends, and family histories within France's bureaucratic framework. The advanced search capabilities suggest access to a substantial digitized archive of civil registration documents, representing a significant digitization effort of France's vital records.
