I will consult, next time I go to the Archives Cantonales Vaudoises, the
book "Livre d'or des familles vaudoises", where I will certainly find more information. I will keep you informed. CYD

I promised to consult the "Livre d'or des familles vaudoises" concerning the LAFFELY.
Hereby what I found.
The first mention of the Laffely is in 1580 in Ballaigues. From Ballaigues some members went the Valeyres sous Rances where they got their citizenship.
In 1928 a family Laffeley from Valeyres sous Rances went to Geneva and got there their citizenship.
Conclusion: The Laffely from Valeyres sous Rances and Geneva have a relationship with the Laffely from Ballaigues. CYD
