In searching for my grandfather, Harry Belmont, I came across naturalization applications and passports of a Harry Belmont with the same birthdate as my grandfather indicating he was born in Pau, France in 1868. His parents were Coleman/Colman Belmont (born in France) and Ventienna Calderon (born in Spain). Harry married my grandmother in Vienna, Austria and was fluent in five languages. His first son was named Harry Emile Belmont was born in Austria. The passports indicate that Harry worked for the Austrian Embassy somewhere between 1892-1910 and that he had also traveled to France and Russia. I would like to find birth, baptism, marriage records to confirm that this Harry is my grandfather, but am not sure where to write or, indeed, how to begin researching in France.
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
