Early Origins of the Ethié family

The surname Ethié was first found in Picardy (French: Picardie) in northern France, where the family was established in early times.

The members of the family took their name from Eth, a parish in the department Nord, in the district of Quesnay. They were also established in other regions of France and of Europe. One branch was registered in Lorraine. Several members of the family distinguished themselves through their various accomplishments.

Georges Ethier, born in 1669, son of Jean and Claire (née Cordier), was a French soldier that travelled to Canada in the 17th century. After arriving in Quebec he married Marie Loiseau, daughter of Lucas and Françoise (née Cure), at Boucherville on 9th February 1699. 1
