Dissolution of the Poitras Families Association
After 36 years of life (1988-2024), we inform you that our Board of Directors has decided, unanimously, to dissolve our organization. This is why we published the very last Bulletin of the Association in December 2023. With this in mind, we are fulfilling our final administrative and financial obligations, which will lead us towards definitive closure.
If our association dies, the ancestors will always remain alive thanks to the contribution of all our members and non-members, who participated, each in their own way, in establishing links with the first of all, Jean, master carpenter, first of the name in America.
We would like to thank you sincerely for your exceptional contribution to the genealogy of the Poitras of America, and your participation in the activities of our association.
Although nostalgic, it is happy to think that the Poitras of America will survive our regrouping. We hope that current descendants and those of the future can adopt our motto, and that they live in a world of Joy & Fraternity.
Suzanne Poitras, President
