I think you mean the commune (town) of Porrentrey (Pruntrut in German).At the time you mention this town was in the Canton of Bern; but it is now in the "Republic and Canton of Jura", since 1979.The LDS has the Civil Registers and Church records for nearly all the communes of the Canton of Jura.I remember coming across the name of Girardin in (I think) Delemont (now the capital of Ct. Jura) or Develier when I was looking through the records of those communes.
