Registered Master of Genealogy (in French: "Maitre Genealogiste Agree" (M.G.A.)

The first edition of the DICTIONNAIRE GENEALOGIQUE DES THIBAULT D'AMERIQUE is entirely sold out, the second one is now short of volumes I and II and there are not many left of number III and IV. After the publication of the first edition, new research tools became available which helped discovering more information. Consequently, whereas 76,000 names were appearing in the first edition 20,000 more names had been added in the second one. The third edition will contain over 10,000 more names. In addition, numerous birth and death information will have been added.

Obviously, such large scale enterprise implies much endeavor and is the result of considerable efforts of research and analysis. This kind of work can easily be suject to errors. To assure rigorous results, I took time to study and prepare a huge file in view of obtaining the highest rank diploma of recognition of competency in genealogy. My efforts were rewarded when I received the title of Registered Master of Genealogy. This diploma is issued by the BUREAU QUEBECOIS D'ATTESTATION DE COMPETENCE EN GENEALOGIE (B.Q.A.C.G.).

The first edition mentioned the origin, the name and the marriage, as well as many birth and death information of numerous Thibaults of America. The interest demonstrated toward the first edition, be it from Canadian Provinces, the United States and the rest of America, was a pleasant surprise for me and a great encouragement to accelarate the research so that I could offer to the Thibaults a reviewed edition with over twenty thousand more names after a two-year term of research. Now, six years later, a third edition is in preparation. It will be ready by June 2012, on time for the next gathering in St. Jerome, Quebec.

As soon as the third edition is ready, it will be posted here. Those interested in getting this new edition of the Dictionnaire Genealogique des Thibault d'Amerique can send a note to the author to make a reservation. If you know who your ancestor is, please mention it. If not, I could help you find out.

Cordially yours,

Pierrette Thibault
