Marie Priscille Theriault

1894 – 1947

Genealogy Notes: I believe that this is the Marie Priscille Theriault who married Theotime Arsenault in New Bandon (Grande Anse), New Brunswick on January 12th, 1921 (RS141B7 Index to New Brunswick Marriages, Number: 2057, Reference: B4/1921, Microfilm: F19678)

 

Update from Victor Godin

About Marie Priscille Thériault-You are right. She was the wife of Théotime Arseneault.

She’s also the mother of my aunt Elisabeth married to Léo(Léon) Chiasson the brother of my mother Dina. Priscille has been a school teacher for a few years in Blackrock(a little community near Grande-Anse).

She wrote several articles in the English newspaper under the name Priscille des Églantines.

It’s Festival Time Again!

The December edition of A Festival of Postcards will be

the WHITE Issue.

So this is your chance to share any of your black and white postcards, or colour postcards featuring white (think white sands and snow, White Cliffs of Dover etc.). As always, feel free to play with the theme. Do you have postcards depicting places that incorporate the word white (or bianco, blanc etc.)? How about a play on words (e.g. white elephant, it`s not black & white?) You’ve pretty well got carte blanche!

1000+ Comments & Counting – Thank You!

This is just a little note to let all of you know how much I appreciate your comments!

Most of my fellow bloggers would agree that one of the most rewarding aspects of blogging is to get personal feedback from readers and to collaborate with other family historians. However, what you may not realize is that your comments (and our email exchanges) have also played a big part in shaping the direction that the Canadian Family blog takes.

I started this blog less than a year ago to share genealogy data, my postcard collection and local histories which I’ve developed over more than a decade of research. Much of this work is coming online in a reasonably organized fashion – but part of this blog is also growing quite organically based on queries and suggestions I get from readers from as far afield as Australia and the Channel Islands and as nearby as my own province of Quebec.

My own research – and this blog – are enriched by all your contributions.

So, thank you, and here’s a big gold star for all of you!
