Marriage record at Champvent notes his birth date and parentage. Banns were published at Lausanne, Rances, Champvent, and Les Verrières (Neuchâtel), but thanks to a dispensation, not in America.
Some records call him Guenard, which helps us to verify the usual spelling of the name in the records of the notary Aymé Chuard (ACV Dp 15). The marriage contract was recorded by this notary 09 feb 1551 (Dp 15/4, fol. 328, followed by a settlement between Françoise and father-in-law from her first marriage).
Family record has Mariote Guyrault, widow of Jean Gélieu, taking their young son Bernard to Geneva about 1559, to be sure he was brought up in the protestant faith and to study theology. Her death seems to have occurred before 1567, when two of her children François and Catherine apparently contacted Bernard Gélieu in Geneva regarding debts of the estate.
