COVER PAGE The cover page includes the armorial bearing of the Thibault Association of America as well as an 1860 photo of two of our ancestors. The house bearing an inscription is that of Guillaume Thibault, in Chateau-Richer on a concession ceded to him in 1650. (Photo La Presse, Montreal 1993). The Thibault Association of America has published a bulletin since the winter of 1991. It is presently being issued three times a year. The first 5 issues contain a storehouse of information concerning the origin of the Thibault name as well as eleven centuries of the history of some of our ancestors. Contents: Each issue features an editorial, an article from the president, and various articles on Thibaults from yesterday and today.

The bulletin is an excellent communication tool between our members in Canada, the United States and France, supports our need to discover our roots, presents the accomplishments of contemporary Thibaults, questions the past, reviews the history of our ancestors, familiarizes us with the ways and customs of the past, furnishes genealogical information, has a "fun" section, publishes biographies, contains notices on members' reunions, family reunions, and any other activity concerning the Thibaults, contains birth, marriages, death, graduation and promotions, contains a list and description of promotional articles available either by e-mail, mail, or at the booth during the reunions.

All members are invited to contribute to the bulletin by sending articles relating to their family's history and the accomplishments of any Thibault. We would also appreciate any photos for publication. We return the photo to you after publication in the bulletin. We prefer an original or a newspaper clipping. We also accept those sent by e-mail. Please do not send photocopies of the photos. Your articles must be typed either on a sheet of paper or on a (Microsoft Word) diskette or CD, or sent by e-mail.
