Goals

This is a One Name Study to collect together in one place everything about one surname and the variants of that name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join our study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying lines that cross or intersect.

Name Variants

The number of name variants for Michaud are numerous. Because of the WikiTree limit, we are tagging only three: Michaud, Michaux, and Michau. Spelling changed from 1600 French to parish priests using their spelling preference in baptismal, marriage and burial records, to Canadian and American English census takers trying to phonetically spell French names. Surnames often changed from parish record to record. Here are just a few variations:

• Michaud
• Michaux
• Michau
• Micheau
• Michaut
• Misho
• Mishaud
