                                 Marriages
    Banns Sent.
  
    The 7th of March 1802 I've sent to Louis, son of David Christinat 
    of Chabrey - residing in Sion Canton Argovie, District of Lentrsourg 
    attestation of the announcement of marriage published in the Church 
    of Constantine the 21st and 28th of February and the 7th of March 1802 
    Without objection. ---Namely between the said Citizen Louis Christinat 
    and the Citizen Salome Regnier of Zofingue residing also in Sion.

         Attestation in a letter addressed to the Reverend Pastor of Sion, 
    Monsieur Sam. Regnier, brother of the fiancee.
  
                             Witness: Pastor Ph. (Philippe) Louis Agassis, 
                             Pastor of Constantine"


 2 Wellsboro Advertiser 29 Jan 1852
  Christenot, Salome died in this place on the 28th inst, Mrs. Salome Christenot, 
  aged 82 yrs.
  (See also Sources for Benjamin B Smith, 1850 census.)

 3 The Zeller Letter which appears on our news page here.
 
    8 Jan 2002 - I have updated this page to reflect the information from the Zellers 
 in Switzerland. On the wedding announcement, it is easy to see how Leitha Trefren
 read Ringier as Thegnier. The R looks like Th to me. Given the R, the name is clearly
 spelled Regnier. The Zellers sent copies of the baptismal records; there the name 
 appears usually as Ringier, but sometimes Ringuier.
    For Margaret Christenot, the second girl, her age given in 1850 & 1860 censuses
 and on her tombstone indicates that she was born in 1802. So I am not comfortable
 changing her birth year to 1803, eventhough I see it on the baptismal record.
    As for Samuel Christinat, Leitha said that Louis & Salome arrived in Philadelphia 
 with 4 children, 1 girl & 3 boys. In the 1820 census, Louis has 3 boys in his home.
 I've no idea what became of Samuel. --Jerise
