Croteau Family Genealogy Frog

Welcome to the Croteau Family Genealogy web site! Many years of work has been placed into the research and documentation of my ancestors. I hope you will benefit from the information I present here.  My web site originally started simply to map out the ancestry of my close relatives.  Needless to say it has grown to much more than this.  A cartoon said those who research genealogy do it at first out of curiosity, then it becomes a hobby, which turns into an obsession, eventually becoming a sickness.  Do you recognize yourself?

My sources have come from documents and other records located in the various Provinces such as Ontario & Quebec as well as the USA. Please take the time to conduct your own investigations.  There are many instances I have found the same adult names, using the same children's names, only differing dates of birth.  Two different families using common names for the time period.  I have tried my best to confirm everything in this data base, alas, there are some instances whereupon I had to rely on others.  I may (unknowingly) be perpetuating a false line in the family tree.

Originally I started out recording my immediate family, but the more I researched, the more I found available the entire Croteau name and lineage.  The Croteau name evolved into several different spellings such as Crotteau and Crotto or derivatives thereof.  If you find a family member, and you wish to submit a short story or picture of the person you love, please feel free to contact me.  I have been accepting more information on family members now that I have more server space to work with.  There have been some interesting stories to be told about the Croteau family members.

If information is open to the public on deceased individuals, I will display it here.  If you have a good reason why you don't want your family name displayed, please let me know nicely.  There are numerous web sites that provide the US Death Index names and information.  Just because the name displayed is your family member, doesn't make it a secret.  Anyone can obtain this data without subscriptions all you need is a computer.

If you are aware of any information that is not correct, or should be modified, I would appreciate you contacting me about it in a nice message.  Nasty messages will simply be deleted.  I have no time for psychotic people who's relatives came from Mars.  Oh yes, even the Croteau family has a few, or we have married some of them.


Search This Web Site

There are several ways to search this web site for your family.  Use the Surname List to reveal a list of surnames if you think you know how it was spelled or use the Index of names which I suggest is the next best to the special search below.  In some cases, I may spell the name differently than you for one reason or another.

Please use this internal search engine for names you are researching.  Use quotes to search for a specific name.  ie: "Moise Croteau" or if you are looking specifically for two names use Mallory + Conrad and only those pages with both names will be presented.  Using your browsers Control + F feature to find a string of words on a particular page.

The Croteau Creek project will improve access to significant fish and wildlife resources by providing passage across Croteau Creek to 220 kilometers of forest road and associated fishing and hunting opportunities. The Croteau Creek on the Forks River Road near Timmins, Ont. is classified as a cool water fishery with species such as northern pike, walleye and minnows being present. The stream is used as a migratory route for fish to undertake different portions of their life cycle. On the upstream side of the crossing lies approximately 15 kilometers of stream. Croteau Creek drains directly into Nighthawk Lake, located approximately 5 kilometers from the crossing location.

Who to Contact for More Information

EmailSend email to: Paul Croteau if you would like to make a comment or ask for more information.  If you can't say it nicely, then don't say anything.  Nasty messages will simply be deleted.   As I have already indicated, mistakes can happen, duplications can occur or what you think are YOUR relatives are not the couple you think they are.  Having said that, many people have contacted me to offer encouragement or to help with details that are simply missing.  I would love to have pictures of people so I can display them for you here.  If you have a story about your relative you would like to post, please let me know.  There is so much that is not documented but could be... only with your help can we achieve a greater degree of proficiency.
