HI I AM ITERESTED IN FINDING OUT WHICH CANTONS WERE OF THE CATHOLIC RELIGION PRIMARILY IN THE 1730'S ON TILL THE MID 1800'S. ALSO WHAT WOULD BE YOUR BEST EDUCATED GUESS AS TO THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME OF VOLUSE? I KNOW THAT MY GGG GRANDFATHER CAME FROM SWITZERLAND, BUT WHERE IN SWIT. AND THAT HE WENT TO CATHOLIC CHURCH HERE IN MD. SO THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD BET HE WAS OF THIS FAITH, HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TRACE ANY VOLUSE'S OR VOLLERS THE NAME THAT APPEARED ON NATURALIZATION PAPERS. ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. JO ELLEN STURGEON JES [email protected]
