Summary

Priests were forbidden by the French Revolution. For about 10 years nochurch services were held anywhere. The churches were locked. The priests left Franceand the ones here [on the French side or Northern Basque Country] fled to the South[the Spanish side or Southern Basque Country]. Some stayed put and went into hiding.Baptisms were performed in secret without any records; in 1821, the bishop requestedthe witnesses of those baptisms to come forward, and the records of the baptisms tobe made. This work includes the ones corresponding to Uharte and Hozta. They showwhich priests performed them and in which houses.
