ALBERT ODMARK NOTES
Obtained from Earl Hackett, 6 November, 1965.

Jean Fazy is recorded as being born in Moscow in 1735 and worked there until 1765. Another Jean Fazy is recorded working in Stockholm in 1760 and yet another, working in Geneva in the second half of the 18th century. It may be one and the same person.
