Looking for any information regarding LAFFELY
Ballaigues / Valeyres-sous- Rances
imagrated to France (Doubs) then USA

I hope someone can help.

According to the Register of Swiss Surnames Laffely have been citizens of Ballaigues since 1580. During the 19th century Laffely gained citizenship of Valeyres-sous-Rances - it is not mentioned, whether there is a relationship between these two lines. In 1928 a line from Valeyres-sous-Rances gained citizenship of Geneva.

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

Je vous informe que je consulterai lors de mon prochain passage aux Archives Cantonales Vaudoises, le "Livre d'or des familles vaudoises" qui contient certainement des informations sur des Lafffely. Je vous tiendrai au courant. 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

Traduction: La première mention de Laffely est en 1580 à Ballaigues. De Ballaigues certains membres s'établissent à Valeyres sous Rances, où ils obtiennent la bourgeoisie. En 1928 des membres de Valeyres sous Rances obtiennent la bourgeoisie de Genève. Les branches de Valeyres sous Rances et Genève ont des ancêtres communs à Ballaigues. CYD
