Launched
in 1993, my research, first limited to the Genealogy of
Junod families originating in the
county Neuchâtel (Switzerland), were progressively
extended to allied or linked families in Lignières and Bevaix, county Neuchâtel, (Switzerland) and Neuchatel,
Kansas (USA).
This
represents over 24'400 individuals, 16'400 families
and 5'200 different surnames since the 1500
years.
The
descendant genealogy tree - if printed - starting by my
oldest ancestor would size 155 metres long by 1m55 high
(18 generations
/ 4800 boxes).
This
Genealogy work was completed with some History
of Lignières, through transcriptions of documents
found in the village, our county and at the Bâle
archbishopric archives in Porrentruy.
The
(french) result was collated into a "Chronology
of the History of Lignières, from the 12th Century
up to 1978", handed
over to the "Fondation
de l'Hôtel
de Commune de Lignières",
the village Historical Society, as a contribution
to their Historical work on our
village.
Trips
to France
and the USA (California, Iowa, Kansas, Ohio) gave me the
opportunity to meet descendants of distant Junod cousins
who emigrated (for
most
back in the 18th/19th century) discovering different cultures
and ideas - all very enriching indeed !
It
is
always with pleasure that I welcome and guide cousins on their Heritage
tour here in Neuchâtel.
These
pages were originally written in French. Some pages available
on the French version may not be available in
English (and the reversely also). Various links to
local (swiss) web sites are for most
in French.
Enjoy
discovering and reading and
don't hesitate to let me know about corrections and/or additions, by
Email.
