Exploring our family history

In building this website, I have had the great pleasure of exploring the Amyotte (Amyot/Amiot) family in Canada. As a founding family, we have been an important part of Canada's history since 1635. Through this site, I will endeavour to provide information that I have collected along the way, as well as many links to the works that dive into our history. Please come back often as I hope to continue to grow this section over time. And if you're interested in contributing, I'd love to work together.
