HI, Eddie, yes this is a good DNA study for Acadians with native background.  We also use this one for mothers:

How can I add my dna to the project?

Answer 2

Hi, I just recently had a 23andMe dna test but I’m not sure how to use this. Any help would be appreciated. My maternal grandmother was born in Nova Scotia and the family goes back to settlement. I would like to add my dna test but need help.

Hi, Kathy, I see your DNA test results on Jean Joseph Gaudet, so that means they are loaded and available for you to see.  I would work up the Gaudet and Thibeau lines to get to the early Acadians.  When you get one or two more generations up, you will be into the Acadian era.  Then I can help you more with connections.  Feel free to contact me.  If your tree shows there might be a native, then we can go to these sites and you can submit your DNA there.

Answer 3

I am particularly interested in finding Y chromosome haplogroup R1b or R-L47 for the Toney surname indicating French ancestry for the Mi'kmaq chief Captain Toney (Toney-961)
