Genealogy of the French Families of the Detroit River Region, 1701-1936
CONFLICT: French Families of the Detroit River Region: 1701-1936, revision by Dennison, p. 55 states father of Dominic was Pierre Greffard. However, St. Anne's Register, p. 2014 lists Dominic's father as Dominique Greffard, deceased as of the 25th of April, 1837. Since this is a primary source, a marriage record written by Father Badin, Ste. Anne's Catholic Church, I am believing it as a more valid indicator of parentage.
From Ancestral File (TM), data as of 2 January 1996.

In 1907 Mr. Griffore sold his farm in Michigan and came to Snohomish county. Soon afterward he bought seventeen and a half acres of land in Sunnyside, near Everett, and proceeded to clear it of the timber, stumps and brush which covered it. The land is fertile and produces abundant crops of hay.
