The act of marriage rehabilitation for Anne Aubois, for St-Jean-Baptiste Parish tells us that Marie Aubois was of Mi'kmaq ancestry.
Jean Roy (Jean LeRoy, also known as Laliberté, also known as Laliberté) was born at St-Malo (France) in 1648. He arrived in Acadia abt. 1671 and was listed at Cap Sable on the 1686 census.
In 1684 he married Marie Aubois, an Amerindian woman and together they had nine children. Cap-Sable 1693 Census: Christine 35 [sic], Port-Royal 1698 Marie 33; 1701 36.

Note: The above record has been transcribed to read "Marie Mikmak" however the original record in French read "Marie Sauvagesse" and in 1686 when Marie Aubois married Jean Roy dit Laliberté the only "Sauvagesses" or "Sauvages", aka Natives, living in Acadia were the Mi'kmaq.
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 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. Lorie Greenwood
Born and raised in Massachusetts to an Acadian father and French-Canadian mother, I have been working on our family history for many years. I began with my mother's side of the family when I was about 11 years old. It was a long time before I knew my father was Acadian. I love knowing my heritage. It gives me a wonderful sense of who I am.
After all these years, you can imagine how many books I have purchased for research. I've decided it is time to part with some of these precious research materials - thus the creation of this blog "Lucie's Book Nook".

Hi Wendy,
I believe that was more common in Quebec and out on the western plains.
