Hello!
It would take a bit of time to describe in detail the way the mistake occured about Étienne sieur de Lafond becoming a Pepin, brother of my ancestor Guillaume Pépin.
I wrote a book on the history of Guillaume Pépin and his wife Jeanne Meschin in 2001 (ISBN 2-920690-31-0 ) published by the Association des familles Pépin inc. Appendix II (3 pages) is dedicated to the explanation of the mistake. I could scan a copy of the Appendix and send it to you by e-mail if you can read French.
As for the research in France on the Lafond, I doubt they could go as far back to Étienne de Lafond, because the French records are scarce for those years. Normally, a Frenchman who goes beyond 1789 in his genealogical reseach is very lucky.
