I am interested in  obtaining information on the genealogy.tm.fr website. Has anyone had any experience with it, or no someone who may have a membership that would be willing to work with me. It claims to have 49 plus records on the Bonivert last name. I am trying to find out what Boniverts they have information on. I am trying to locate information on my GG grandfather Joseph P Bonivert. He also has gone by the names of Pascel, Pascol, Peter and P.J. I think he was born in 1840, we are not sure if he was born in Lille, France or Lille Belgium. However I would be interested to know what the names are on the website under the Bonivert name that they have info on.
Thank You!!!!!
Jocelyn

Those records are basically assembled from indexes made by various local history groups in France and Belgium. They can be accessed via Patro.com They are by no means complete in either geographical scope or time period; it depends what bits each local group has done. To access them requires that you buy "units" - it's a pay per view thing. I've never tried it out myself.

Of those 49 records, 40 are early parish records in Ardennes (dates 1608-1696).  4 are from Belgium but are from 1679-1750.  There are two marriages in Nord department which are the most likely to be relevant.

If you look on http://www.geneanet.org/ (free) you can see who else is researching.
In Nord there are these places mentioned in the 1800s:
Bruay-sur-l'Escaut, Hergnies, Marchiennes
(in particular there is a Marie Catherine Bonivert from Liege who was in Hergnies - or possibly Marchiennes - in the 1840s).

 - incidentally here he is as "Paschal". He must have naturalised early on. Birthplace as "EEL" (??) - John Blomme who has the same birthplace is listed as Belgian in the 1920 census, I think.

Thank you for that information. I put some of my family tree (the Bonivert side) on http://www.geneanet.org/ today maybe I will link up with someone. I still have more info to input but I got the basics in. I did look into Marie Catherine it said that she was born 5-28-1820 in Liege ,Belgium. Not sure if she is a link or not. ...maybe an aunt?? I didn't find any Joseph Bonivert's on there.I have never done this type of research so I have really appreciated your input and suggestions. I did see that same document that said his Birthplace was EEL...no idea what that means. I still have to check out the two marriages in Nord as well.
Thank you jorose!
