Search the Database of French Deaths 1792-1796
Search for free for the names of the tragic victims executed in the French Revolution 1792-1796 for various crimes; real or made up. Not all victims were executed by the guillotine, most were killed by firing squads. This is a ‘census’ or ‘dictionnaire’ of the victim’s names with genealogical information recorded. It does not include all those who died during the French Revolution. You will find the young, the old, young teenagers, women, mothers and men of all ages.
