 |
| Here more about the reunion:
A first family reunion was organised by Philippe Dardel in August, 1995, in his property of Moissac, in the South-West of France. About one hundred Dardels and their cousins attended this memorable event. Some of them were thirteenths cousins... Switzerland was a principal subject of conversation. The reunion was such a success that it was decided to organise a new reunion in the homeland of our ancestors. This new event took place on 31 July and 1 August 1999 in Marin-Epagnier, near Saint-Blaise. Over 400 persons (all from the Dardel or allied families) participated. | |
