Alexandre Dufour from Belgium

The descendants of Alexander Dufour and Victory Hourdiaus, originally from Cuesmes in Belgium and settled in Pennsylvania, beginning of the 20e century. Alexandre Dufour had three sons: Auguste, Modest and Arthur.

Later, Arthur got settled to Grampian while his brothers chose Houtzdale where their children got married. We could not have relate him to other lineages. This lineage chose the emblem that is usually assigned to Guillaume-Henri Dufour and the Dufours of Switzerland.

Above, Arthur's birth certificate: he was born at Cuesmes Belgium, nov. 17, 1870.

That family chose these arms, the arms of The Swiss Dufour families!
