I would like to share, and grow, my genealogy research. My name is John Collignon. I am a descendant of Peter (Pierre) Collignon. Pierre was born in France on September 22, 1799, died March 22, 1878. He married Mary Catherine Perrin. His father's name was John (Jean), Jean was born on November 5, 1770 and died on November 29, 1836. Jean was married to Catherine Millon. John was married twice, the first time to Anne Paquin. John and Anne were married on August 18, 1806. Anne was born in Troyon, a village near Rupt, and died in 1820 in Rupt. John's parents were John Collignon and Peraux Marguerite. They were married on July 27, 1756 in Rupt. This John was born on June 30, 1736 in Rupt and died on June 3, 1811 in Rupt.
