The goal of this project is to link together and explore possible family links with other descendants of glass and crystal makers. Since this was a very strong guild and you had to marry within the guild many descendants are related to each other. I did this with a group of 400 descendants and we found 90% of us all descended from the same couple in the 1600s. -- Laura Bozzay.

To add it to a profile for one of your relatives add this at the top of the Biography header above the biography details but below the heading Category: Verriers (to make it work it has to be inserted between double [ ]. This category adds the profile to the list located on the page https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Verriers
