I am not connected to the Dufours. I did a similar "census" of Swiss families,
but only to document which surnames were associated with the Swiss settlement and their
points of origin. There's a lot more than most people think. I do not descend from any
of these families.
Are you aware of the genealogy "The Dufour Saga" and Perret Dufours
"History of the Swiss Settlement", which is a compiled group of articles. he
wrote for the the Reveille (Vevay) in the 1800s . They are old enough they may be
available online since they should be in public domain
The Dufour history was available from the Switzerland County Historical Society and I
would assume it might still be
Thanks
Bob.

It is a 186-page document The history covers the origins of the families in Scotland;
migration patterns; history in Jefferson County. The final section has a
"census" of Scottish families known to have come to Jefferson and Switzerland
Counties. It provides a short history of the original immigrants and listings of their
children Bob Scott _______________________________________________
