This article (see the link below) is dedicated to Paul L. LeBlanc, with many thanks for his superior service to Acadian genealogy, genetic genealogists, and to the Acadian Amerindian Ancestry project! Personal notes about Paul's ancestry, of interest to his Louisiana cousins, may be found at the end. Important links and references supporting his genealogy research may be found throughout the article.
Thank you Paul for your participation in the Big Y DNA testing program (your results further solidified our LeBlanc signature Y DNA haplogroup and led to the forming of a NEW branch in the Y haplogroup tree) and for your help and coordination in the writing of this article.
Thank you to the members of this genealogy group and those of the Acadian Amerindian Ancestry DNA project for pulling together and sponsoring Paul's Big Y DNA test. Because of your timeliness and generosity we were able to take advantage of wonderful sale pricing on the BIg Y DNA test kit!
Regards,
