This series of Early French Canadian Pioneers microposts is dedicated to the earliest settlers of Quebec. If you are new to the genealogy of French-speaking Canadians, please be aware that the earliest French settlers can also descend from the Acadian pioneers who originally settled in what are now Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. In addition, please note that any Native related links refer back to other posts citing census, marriage or other documents with indigenous or Metis individuals of that surname, however those individuals do not necessarily descend from those particular French Canadian settlers. All these posts are intended as Finding Aides – a place to find possible clues and start your own research!

A Canadian Family 
I also found the Cureux dit St. Germain as Squirrel in Aroostook, Maine and on a Maliseet land petition in New Brunswick. My family have Curo’s from New Brunswick to Maine to Minnesota. My sister’s DNA cousin matches have both Curo’s and Cureux’s. I’d love to talk to anyone else who has both families as cousin matches. I am trying to sort out if they are actually the same family. My email is bullnterrier@gmail.com

That’s fascinating! I wasn’t aware of this surname spelling.
Good luck with your search.

Thank you Evelyn! I may be on to something! We have an oral history of native ancestry on my grandmother’s side but have only found it on my grandfathers! lol This would be the only possibility as far as I can tell. Everything else in the tree seems to be accounted for! lol

Just thought I’d share these links on the Cureux dit St. Germain family in case they may be useful to you in your own research! Thank you for all the work you do Evelyn!
