Welcome to the Croteau Family Genealogy web site!
|
  Many years of work have 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?
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 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 Pluto. If
information is open to the public on deceased individuals, I will display it
here. The SSDI is a free, open web site that anyone can type in a name and search for deceased relatives. Sorry it happened, but that is life. If you have a good reason why you don't want your family name
displayed, please let me know nicely. I will say that I have no intention of showing false information, so please, in a nice message, let me know what you have found. We could be talking about two different families, or I have information from a census report that may not be spot on. We can work together and fix things up a bit.

Lately I have hit a stone wall - that is to say - I'm way too busy in family life to conduct your research for you. There is a search engine below us here, use it. If you want a report on a person you found, please let me know the URL (the web page) you are making reference to. Telling me your uncle Joseph and Mary Croteau from the USA is like telling me the sky is falling... I have hundreds of people with that combination of names. Be very specific please - Joseph Antoine Croteau b: 01Apr1818 d: 20Aug1890 married to Mary Soulier b: 20Jun1820 d: 25Dec1900 gives me something to work with to help you... at the very least tell me what I have here so I can find the records.
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.

You will find a lot of our family members buried here. I managed to drive through the village of Libby on my way to B.C. however due to time restraints, and I had other riders with me, I was unable to take a day and walk the cemetery.

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. |
