Very interesting! So many people want to have Native American ancestry, and you do. :) When I first started researching my husband's family, I was surprised to learn how often Native Americans married the French Canadians.
Hi Wendy,
I believe that was more common in Quebec and out on the western plains.
Hi Lucie,
Great blog! I am also a descendant of Marie Christine Aubois and Jean Roy dit Laliberte. I was wondering, are you on Gedmatch? I have a question or two I'd like to ask you if you've done your autosomal DNA (we're on 23andme) regarding Jean Roy dit Laliberte's lineage. My email is LGR157@yahoo.com. Nice to meet you, cousin! I'm in NH.
