Guide to Andorra ancestry, family history, and genealogy: birth records, marriage records, death records, census records, family history, and military records.

Comprising only 181 square miles, Andorra sits in the heart of the Pyrenees between France and Spain. By the time the Moors conquered Spain, Andorra was Christian. Andorrans welcomed Charlemagne’s incursions against the Moors in the 8th century and who allegedly granted them independence. The Count of Foix (France) and the Bishop of Urgel (Spain) contested Andorran territory in the 13th century. In 1278 a peace treaty made them joint rulers. Andorra has a parliament established in 1419 though it is nominally a joint principality under France and Spain.
