Brian Roberts!You're the guy that Eleanor Moult keeps telling me to contact!!Like the rest of us....I'm digging for Dafoes.I've got our line pretty well tracked down.....but what I'd really like to do is to work BACKwards.....and learn more about Daniel (1).I've looked at the early Missy microfilm at Salt Lake (#128772 for the years 1608 to 1874)).....trying to see if I could find his baptismal record....that would give us a clue to his parents!!She thinks maybe you've already done that.Have you?Those records are difficult to read/translate....in French I think. I'm wondering if you've seen them.
I'm also curious about the statement made by Mary Ann Kolb (msg #110) that there is a river that runs through Missy, Switzerland ...the "Rive Des Vaux".....that appears to be pronounced day-foe!That's exciting, however I've spent hours looking for a map (on line) that shows that river.Missy is so small that there aren't too many details.There are, however, some wonderful pictures and panoramas of the little village at www:missy.ch/but you've probably already seen those.
So that's my quest for today....a record of Daniels baptism ......and to locate the River Day-foe!!
I don't know where you are but I hope you're staying cool....and dry!Phyllis just north of HOTlanta
