Among the passengers from the Princess Augusta in 1736, many
were from the same Swiss villages. Some migrated to America directly, while
others, before migrating to America, made a small stay in a French (Alsatian)
little region called
Le Ban de la Roche. Therefore, they took with them bandelarochians without any Swiss origin, and even Catholic neighbors from
Saulxures. You can read this story at this address (in French of course)
Les
voyageurs de la Princess Augusta.
