He may have been related to Rosina (TSCHANTRE) VILLARD of Tuschertz, SZ, my gggrandmother and first wife of Fred Villard. I cannot find the TSCHANTRE surname in Wayne County after 1851 and it is possible that the surname was changed to TSCHANTZ or SCHANTZ. ============== --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
