John Wynne McCoy's Genealogy & Music Pages

Surnames include McCoy, Marcel, Mayor, Johannot, Gélieu,Margueron, Faucherres, Dutoit, Trolliet, Planche, Rouge, Leorat, Barnett, Gachet, Berthod, Vallier,Chalon,Uran, McDougall, Havens, and many more!  Many of these are from French-SpeakingSwitzerland with links to Huguenot families in France.

My current projects:

• Genealogy in French-Speaking Switzerland (with Huguenot research in France)
  
  
• Links to Family Tree Maker web pages (no longer maintained, but still useful)
  
  
• Vaud GenWeb page, part of World GenWeb
  
  
• More resources for research in the Pays de Vaud: information, inventories, indexes, provisional transcripts, excerpts from documents, and more! Most of these will be in PDF format.
• The perplexing tale of my two McCoy families
  
  
• Status of research on various other families:
  • Gachet of Payerne and Gatschet of Bern
  • Bockoven of New Jersey, originally Bachoffen (or, if the record is in French, often Dufour) from Olwisheim and Bischwiller in Alsace, and before that, apparently, from Lorraine
  • The elusive Reuben Smith of Adams County, Ohio

Matters of Opinion: If I were a modern person, it would be called a blog.
