I have always had a fascination with Genealogy, it intrigued me to find out mine and my husbands family histories. Their are many reasons why Genealogy can be a wonderfully compelling past time. Haven't you always wanted to know where your family originated and who your ancestors are? To not only learn, but also create your families history. To know where we originated is quite exciting. I have done research on my husbands last name as well as my maiden name in the past. I have found that The Stroud family name is actually quite common in other areas of the united states, however it is not so common around the area in Louisiana where I live. Stroud is an Old English name originating from England and Scotland. The name Stroud in Ireland were usually of immigrants arriving from these countries during the 17 century. The Name Theriot is a French Acadian name pronounced Tair-ee-oh they were one of the earliest settlers in Acadia who found refuge in Louisiana. There a different types of spelling for Theriot, two other ways to spell it are Terriot and Terriau. That is a bit of information that I came across towards the beginning of my reasearch.
