Identified in a document of F. Ballif, notary at Moudon, 02 jun 1614, as the daughter of "Wolff" Frossard, widow of Maurice Dutoit and wife of Fran�ois Trollier.
He was pastor at Ballaigues in 1740, suffragant at Suchy 1740-1746, then minister at Le Lieu around 1747-1754 and Ste.Croix 1754-1770, and finally at Pomy 1770, where he died 05 dec 1778. One of his sons, Jean Maurice Frossard 1749-1820, was also a minister.
Did he first marry Antheine Roberti? In 1659, the heirs and relatives of Antheine Roberti, wife of Guillaume Frossard, reached a settlement in the cour de justice of Moudon (ACV BIL 51).
Cited in the Ancestral File, data from the Medieval Families unit of the Family History Library. In the 15th Century, the title Dom in this part of Switzerland refers to an ecclesiastical office of some kind. Guy or Guido must have been a priest or monk.
What is the source of this information? A number of genealogies on the internet call this person "Dom Guido Frossard", as if Dom was his baptismal name, and give him a birth date of 1419, at Brenles, but no sources are cited. There appear to be several attempts at a genealogy of the family: (1) Le livre g�n�alogique de la famille Frossard (Paris, 1876/1878, 36 pp., a copy at the ACV); (2) Famille Frossard, de Brenles et de Moudon, in the collection of the papers of Olivier Dessemontet, Lausanne 1968-1970, 19 pp. at the ACV; and (3) Essai de g�n�alogie de la famille Frossard, originaire de Moudon", 1984, by G�rard Frossard, also at the ACV. The Archives communales de Moudon has a document dated 02 jun 1483 (M 58, 1855) that mentions Guido Frossard, capellanus of Moudon, as a neighboring land-owner. The most likely source would seem to be the volumes compiled for Humbert Frossard about 1515 relating to the family's holdings at Brenles (ACV Fn 202, 205, 207, and 233, not yet examined).
Identified as father of Michel Frossard in a document of 1508 at the municipal archives of Moudon (M58 2060). His lineage is also in the International Genealogical Index (IGI) with the imprimatur of the Medieval Studies unit of the Family History Library of Salt Lake City. This is explained by his connection to the pedigree of Ezra Taft Benson, former President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
Jaquette daughter of Humbert Frossard and wife of Louis Savataire alias de Martherenges is cited in a "reconnaissance" for property in the Frossard family dated 24 apr 1574 (ACV Fn 337 fol. 183).
