Welcome to the Croteau Family Genealogy web site! Many years of work has been put 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 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.  If information is open to the public, 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.

Search This Web Site

Please use this internal search engine for names you are researching.  Use quotes to search for a specific name.  ie: "Mallory Croteau" or if you are looking for specifically two names use Mallory + Conrad and only those pages with both names will be presented.  Searching for the name Croteau will cause you to have every page listed.  The entire web site is about the name Croteau so think about it.  Most pages have over 50 people listed on each so you may receive a longer list than normal.  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 kilometres 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 kilometres of stream. Croteau Creek drains directly into Nighthawk Lake, located approximately 5 kilometres from the crossing location.
