I have been doing Meunier genealogy research for 12 years and have never been able to get further back than the 1780s, when my gggg-grandfather Jean Meunier had 2 children in New Brunswick, Canada. I suspect that he was originally from Quebec. I like your site – the colours and format are so pleasing to the eye, and the content is very informative.
Yvon Pitre, Fredericton, NB, Canada
Hello Yvon,
Thank you for the kind comments. Meunier is certainly a tough name to research. I take it you’ve already posted your queries on the message boards? Have you tried recently, since so much Quebec information has been coming online over the past few years?
Either way, good luck in your research.
Evelyn in Montreal
Yes, I’ve tried posting for information but came up with zero.
On your advice, I will try the major message boards again.
You can post here as well if you wish.
Hi, I am a Theriault born to Roland Theriault son of Fred or Alfred Theriault. I have searched for years to find a family line beyond that but cannot seem to locate it. Not sure why the disconnect. Wondering if someone can help or guide me.
We grew up in Van Buren Maine but father was born in Grand Isle Maine. Fred had a brother named Henri. Roland had a sister named Gilberte. All I know.
Thanks

Well I think you’ve to the right place because lots of people seem to be reading the Theriault posts.
I will look into this for you but I have a research backlog of about 10 days right now so you’ll need to be patient.
Evelyn
1. Most “surface” research takes place through marriage databases. Do you have the name of Fred/Alfred’s wife?
2. Was Alfred Theriault born before 1930 and if so have you already checked the US census?
