The French connection : the Leon & Catherine Bernard family and their descendants

Leon Bernard (1789-1861) was born in Rechesy, France to Pierre Andre and Maria Françoise Pauline Chalmey Bernard. His ancestors had lived in and around Rechesy since the late sixteenth century. He was a shoemaker by trade. In 1814 he married Catherine Kilker (b. 1792) of Beurnevesin, Switzerland. They were the parents of ten children. In 1828 they immigrated to New York and, by 1836, were living in Maria Stein, Mercer County, Ohio. Descendants live in Ohio and other parts of the United States.
