Please see my post in New York County about Arthur Alexandre Bornand [1865-1954]
"Bornand families in NYC area - from Sainte Croix, Switzerland."

Joseph Camille & "Alexander" Bornand were first cousins:

_ Joseph was the 3rd child of Constant Bornand [1837-] & Julie Martin

_ Arthur Alexandre was the 1st child of Henri Louis Bornand [1830-1867] & Julie Wirtrich née Joseph

Constant & Henri Louis were brothers.

Their sister was Julie Nanette Bornand [1828-1872], who married Ami Paul Bourquin [1820-1875]: they were my great-great-grand parents.


that's all I know. I can use some help.

Very frustating, as the name Bornand is not searchable on the forum.
Many, many, false results of the type:

BORN
AND lived in ....

thanks in advance.
