Genealogy

Genealogy brings to life family histories and ancestral origins. Dr. Theriot has spent two decades digging in local archives and libraries where most traditional genealogical records are housed. He is skilled at utilizing conventional research tools, such as microfilm and manuscript collections, in addition to modern online methods and databases for locating, collecting, and disseminating genealogical information for families. Take a look at his most recent Acadian Genealogical digital history project:

Years of research and British census maps, newly uncovered by a Canadian scholar, led Dr. Theriot on a long-awaiting pilgrimage to visit this last known Acadian settlement and to walk among his ancestors.
