Hi List, The recent messages about points of departure, Calvinist, Catholic, etc. has made me wonder. What should it tell me about the religion of my ancestor who moved from the Oberdiessbach area of Bern to Montbeliard, then departed from Hamburg for America in 1752? They were married in 1747 (Bern) and had at least two, probably three children by 1752 whose baptismal records I can't find. I don't understand why they went to Montbeliard first? Phyllis
