Parret/Parrot
Many years ago, so the tradition runs, there lived in France, a family who spelled their name Paret. They were driven by the wars into Switzerland, where as the years went by, both the spelling of the name and the language they spoke, were changed. I have been told that in Berne there is a monument erected in honour of the men who fought for their country and among the names therein inscribed, is the name of Parrett.
