Introduction In genealogy, countries of our ancestral parishes and villages must be coded. In the Internet context and its international data exchanges, the country coding has to be international too. The best way to do that is to use the ISO 3166 standard. This standard offers two ways for coding all the countries of our planet: as a 2-digits code (less intuitive) and as a 3-digits code (more intuitive). In the table below, both codings are given side by side. Some states, like USSR, are taken into account for historical reasons. To know more: - ISO 3166, in English. - ISO 3166, in French.
