One of the goals of the TERRIOT ACADIAN FAMILY is to promote the research of our family's genealogy, and also to involve as many members of the family in our project. Accordingly, we invite all members of the family and those related,  to consider focusing on a small aspect of our history or genealogy, study the area thoroughly and report on it here, in this section. In addition to gaining the experience of researching and writing, all other members of the family will benefit by the additional information. For those of you interested in publishing your works, the best and quickest way to copyright your work is to publish on the Internet.

A Bit of History
Gilles G. Thériault, 
Sept 1999
The Thériaults of Nouveau Brunswick This short history was submitted by Daniel Thériault (Adrien,Leo, Maxime, Charles), member of the Charles and Méthaïde Thériault Great-Branch. The article surveys the history of the Thériault's of New Brunswick from our progenitor, Jehan to the Thériault's of the late 19th century. The history is well-written and comprehensive. It identifies the ancestry of the family in all areas of New Brunswick. If your Thériault origins are New Brunswick, this survey is a very fine starting point in your research. Daniel's father, the late Adrien Thériault was our first delegate for the Charles and Méthaïde Thériault Great-Branch.
