Full Sequence mtDNA Haplogroup A2 Earliest Known Ancestor
Marie Christine Aubois was a Canadian First Peoples .
NOTICE: this profile is protected by the Acadian Project because of uncertainty over parents. Please contact the Acadian Project before making any substantive changes. Thanks for helping make WikiTree the best site for accurate information.
Marie (Christine) Aubois was born around 1665[1] likely in Acadia. Her native heritage is recorded in her daughter Anne's revalidated marriage record (top entry). Moreover, maternal DNA from her descendants indicates a native haplogroup.[2] Whether she was Mi'kmaq is unknown, as other tribes also lived in Acadia.
Around 1686 Marie married Jean Roy dit Laliberté. The location of their marriage is unknown. As Jean was living at Cap Sable, Acadie at that time, could their marriage have taken place there? Cape Sable, Acadia is located on the southern tip of present day Nova Scotia, Canada. In 1686 there were 15 people listed at Cap Sable and the heads of family were: Jean as "La Liberte Le Neigre" (no wife or children), and the families of Sieur LaTour de St Estienne, Sieur Mius de Pobomcouc, and Abraham Dugas. All except Jean raised animals and most had cultivated land. [3]
Between around 1686 and 1708, Marie Christine gave birth to nine children: [1].
On the birth of daughter Marie Francoise, she is known as Marie Aubois[4], same for the 1708 baptism of Renaud (this record links Jean Roye with the name dit La Liberte)[5].
In 1693 the family was still living at Cap Sable and four children had been born. She was called Christine at this time.[6] The number of families remained small. During these early years of raising her family and caring for animals on the farm, her household must have seemed peaceful in Cap Sable, compared to the turmoil of Port Royal after they moved there.
Five years later the family had moved to Port Royal. He was now called Jean Roy and she was Marie (no last name given), same four children.[7]Their homestead[8] was close to the Melanson settlement near the site of the Old Fort across from Goat Island. The family remained in Port Royal in 1703[9], 1707[10]and 1714.[11].
In 1717 she was named DuBois on her son Jean's marriage (does this original record give their location (habitants)?)[12]
Marie's date of death is unknown. She and Jean appear to have been alive on September 10, 1730 when their daughter Marie Magdeleine was married[13]. Marie was named Dubois in the original record. Presumably both Jean and Marie were still living in Port Royal where these marriages took place.

1714-15 New English King requires oaths of allegiance.[19] Delegates from Port-Royal sign a conditional oath of allegiance, promising to stay true to the King of Great Britain for as long as they stayed in Nova Scotia, and to remain neutral in the event of a conflict between France and Great Britain
1720 and onward Acadians refuse to sign an unconditional oath of allegiance. This is tolerated by the British as they lack military means to enforce the oath.[21]

mtDNA Haplogroup A2
A Full Sequence mtDNA test kit is registered on WikiTtree, reporting A2-C64T, which we can confirm only as Haplogroup A2 based on its presence in the Mothers of Acadian project's public reports. Marie Christine Aubois is entitled to the mtDNA Earliest Known Ancestor | Halogroup A2 template, which appears near the top of the Biography, like a sticker, on the right.
There are three Full Sequence mtDNA test kits reported by Mothers of Acadian project at FTDNA that report Haplogroup A2. There are two kits that report only Haplogroup A, which may be because they are not Full Sequence mtDNA kits. One of the Full Sequence mtDNA kits is registered at WikiTree and can be seen in the DNA Connections widget on profiles of all the daughter lines reporting haplogroup A2-C64T, which is refinement that we cannot verify through the public view at FTDNA. Nonetheless, based on two of those three FTDNA MoA kits having a match between descendants of an 8th and a 9th great-grandmother, who is both their Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA) and their Earliest Known Ancestor (EKA), we can confirm and corroborate the research work of others which has led volunteer genealogists on WikiTree to collaborate on verifying (with sources) the genealogy of two testers who are distant cousins and determining that the FTDNA kit results are being reported with fidelity.
Their matrilineal lines descend through two daughters of Marie Christine Aubois. Please see their profiles for detailed Sources and DNA Confirmations.
Gendreau-Hétu, Jean-Pierre: The proof of her indigenous origin was established by triangulation in 2014. [23]
A study demonstrated in 2017 through a double mtDNA triangulation that Anne Marie Comeau (1719-1757) was a granddaughter of Marie Christine Aubois. [24][25]
Mothers of Acadia Maternal DNA Project verfies their origins using mtDNA of descendants whose family trees have been validated by Stephen White.[26][27]
In 2015, Stephen White reported that descendants of Marie, had a Haplogroup A2. Ongoing test results are also reported here. As of July 2015, 2 descendants had a A2-C64T haplogroup, indicating native origins.
Origins. There is some discussion regarding whether Marie was metisse (native with a French parent) or full native. On most of the baptismal and marriage records of her children, the priest lists Marie's surname of Aubois or Dubois, which points to a French father. Some family trees list the French father as Julien Aubois (Hautbois) who is found in the 1708 Census at Cap Sable, but White does not link Marie to Julien, presumably because there is no evidence [1].
The evidence supporting her being native is the marriage record of her daughter Anne on March 3, 1706 (note that the transcription says 1703 but the actual record and a further note in the transcription says 1706.[28] The Priest records Anne as being the daughter of Jean Roy of St. Malo and Marie "Sauvagesse" of Acadie. Some advance that an alternative meaning for Aubois/Dubois is "of the woods", a name used to qualify her native origin. It also says supporting this, on the Acadia census of 1693, 1698 and 1701, the last names of the wives are listed. Not for Marie, where she is only entered under her first name.[7] Priests would sometimes make up such surnames in order to avoid having to record a person with no last name.[29].
Do not add parents without definitive evidence. Any new evidence should be posted for project to see and review.

There is no requirement nor any expectation for a DNA Confirmation on the profile of an MRCA, but this one confirms daughter relationships instead of maternal/paternal. This is a novel DNA Confirmation, but, as it does not affect any part of the system, it is entirely harmless and is a way to square the circle.
Daughter relationships are confirmed through Mitochondrial DNA test results on Family Tree DNA. Annette Cormier, FTDNA kit # 348700, and her maternal line cousin ANONYMOUS (a direct matrilineal descendant of Therese Ethier), Kit # 241277, have a Full Sequence mtDNA match with a Genetic Distance = 1, matching perfectly on HVR1 and the Coding Region, and with a single difference at position 309.2C in HVR2, thereby confirming their direct maternal lines back to their most-recent common ancestor who is Marie Christine Aubois the 8x great grandmother of Annette Cormier and the 9x grandmother of ANONYMOUS.

Marie Aubois (Mi'kmaq) Mother
6 - Marie Christine Aubois (paternal grandmother's side) - Born about 1665 in a Mi'kmaq encampment called Quicnakagan close to the newly settled Port Royal in Acadia.
By 1632 when the French began to settle in earnest, there was already a 20-year history between the Mi'kmaq and earlier French explorers. In fact an agreement with the Vatican had been signed in 1610 through Jesuit activity in the area. It affirmed the Mi'kmaq right to choose Catholicism, Mi'kmaq tradition, or both. A Mi'kmaq named Pesamoet spent a year living in France where he realized a large number of French people would soon be settling in Acadia. The Mi'kmaq determined to form good relations with them, accepting the Catholic religion and taking St. Anne as their patron saint. A chapel in her name had been established for 50 years near Port Royal by the time Marie Christine married Jean Roy dit Laliberte in 1684.
He arrived in 1671 at the age of 23, but spent the first 13 years establishing himself as many of the male settlers did. He worked as a fisherman for ten of those years before setting up his own farm.
In most of the early Acadian marriages, the groom was in his 30's while the bride was in her late teens, as is the case with Marie and Jean. Because the Capucin brothers had established a school at LaHave for Mi'kmaq children, Marie would likely have been able to interact easily with the French settlers in Port Royal. Compared to early records in Quebec, where Europeans married natives, and their native names are recorded, in Acadia the native names are always replaced with a European name like Marie. This means the French were absorbing the Mi'kmaq into their culture, rather than the frequent Quebec or American West counterpart of European settlers being absorbed into native culture.
Anne’s mother, Marie, is stated in this marriage record to have been “Marie, Sauvagesse de l’Acadie (“Marie, Savage woman, or First Nations woman, of Acadia), which demonstrates that René and Anne’s mother, Marie was a First Nations woman. Therefore, this is evidence to support my prior assertion that the “Jean-Baptiste Roy” who married “Charlotte de la nation des Sauteux” (“Charlotte of the Saulteaux Nation”) was an “Acadian-Métis” man who “west West” during the peak of the “fur Trade.”

Hi, Leslie, regarding the daughter marriage to Joseph Comeau, the original record does not say that Marie Christine was a Mik'maq. However, her daughter Anne's record summary says she was a native of Acadia but I think that record should be reviewed for an accurate translation. It does say she was a habitant of Cap Sable.
Do you have a source for "Born about 1665 in a Mi'kmaq encampment called Quicnakagan".
In the paragraph starting He arrived in 1671 . . who is the he that is referenced here? Joseph Comeau? Is there a source?
It would be interesting to learn more about the school for the Mi'kmaq children. Can you provide more about that?
I believe many of these assumptions come from a Bona Arsenault book. Sadly, a printed item that doesn't pass the rigorous process of naming sources and brings in "facts" based on likeliness. As of now, nothing proved Marie was a Mi'kmaw (but it is likely), nowhere was it indicated where she could have been born, same with the arrival of Jean in America. We know he was here in 1683 (contemporary documentation) but we do not know his birth date, nor his exact arrival in America.
Don't want to edit it myself since I don't really go here and it's PP, but I'd suggest changing some of the language used in this profile, as it's quite outdated. "Amerindian" isn't a term you hear much in the 21st century, and terms like "full-blooded" reek of blood quantum rhetoric. I'd recommend using mostly Indigenous or Indigeneity (with capital i's), and not speaking about an Indigenous woman in terms of blood.
Hi, Alex, thank you for pointing this out. I've revised and corrected to current language. Please reread and let me know if this suffices. I also corrected the links (had been changed by the original source). You might want to review those original records. We have not been advised to use the capital I by the First Peoples project but will check in with them about it. I'll be in touch about that. Best wishes, Cindy Bourque Cooper, co-leader, Acadians Project
As for the capital I in Indigenous, I believe it's the current academic standard, but I'll see about getting it implemented in the First Peoples Project
Hi Martin.....I am doing my friend's lineage and her 3 x's Gr. Grandparents are Lewis 'Luison' Clory b 1819 Arichat, Nova Scotia and d 23 March 1891 West Arichat, Nova Scotia. 3 x's Gr. Grandmother Gertrude Roy b circa 1820 West Arichat and d 24 Sept 1884. Marie Christine Aubois is her 8 x's Gr. Grandmother. Could have knocked me over with a feather when I saw that Queen Elizabeth II is Marie's 15 x's Gr. Grandmother!
Aubois-28 and Aubois-2 appear to represent the same person because: Same name, same estimated date of birth. Both are members of First Nations. Same spouse with same estimated date of birth. This couple has been documented by professional genealogists. No other couple with these names in Acadie during that period. Please merge. Thank you!
Arora, I am not in a good position to address all the details of your message. However, the DNA paragraph on the profile does say she has Native American DNA. So is she part or full shouldn't matter as far as putting the Native sticker. Does the First Peoples project want to co-manage her? This is the first comment about that and I haven't seen any objection by the Acadian project to co-management of this profile. She is the spouse and mother of Acadians and thus rightly belongs within the Acadians project too. We've co-managed many profiles with other projects successfully.
The issue of the merge of Aubois-28 should be addressed.
deleted my comment as it makes no difference anyway.. my comment was about specifically things written on her profile that pertains to what is and is not permissable.. from what I read here it appears all additions must go thru the project. Any additions I may have will now and in the future go to my offline genealogy for her. As a multi-lines generational descendant granddaughter I will determine what i can have on her profile within my own offline genealogy now and in the future. I just don't see the way things are worded on here as being a open profile for all to contribute. thank you Cindy for your prompt reply as always you are helpful. As for the First Peoples Project I have no say as to why she is not on it, and you are right that other profile should be merged. thank you again
Aubois-28 and Aubois-2 do not represent the same person because: I know that my Marie Aubois was known as "Maid of the Woods" and "Marie of the Woods. I also know that she is listed in various web pages. Currently I am in ill health and can only spend about 1 hr or 2 a week on my computer, so I am unable to to do so. Thank you
Dawn, this couple is the same as that of Jean Roy Roy-1390 and Marie Christine Aubois.Aubois-2 They both are parents of Charles, that relationship is documented by genealogist Stephen White. These dates should be corrected and profiles merged, or at least Charles should be connected to his actual documented parents. We could go either way, what is your preference? Still hoping to see your source if that could be useful for him and other Mi'Kmaqs. Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Hi, Dawn, this person could not be the mother of Charles because she was born 22 years after he was.
Also could you provide the link for the Scott Garnier source, or at least include the exact words about this person from the document?
Thank you, Cindy
I'm a direct descendant based on mitochondrial DNA. My maternal 3d great grandmother Blow-413 is the furthest I can confirm, however I have a genealogy (Ancestry) that directly connects her if her if her parents were Joseph Bleau and Archange Germain dit Belisle.
I'd like to add my MtDNA to this profile if possible. I can be found in the Acadian and Amerindian DNA projects at Family Tree DNA.
Any further hints about my linage would also be welcomed.
I searched in Ancestry and in PRDH (programme de recherche en demographie historique) starting at Joseph Bleau and Archange Germain but found no obvious links, unfortunately. Maybe you could ask G2G for help in finding the parents of your great grandmother Blow-413, and build your line hopefully to Marie Christine Aubois.
The lineage I have, from Marie Christine, is as follows:
Aubois-2 > Roy > Fontaine dit Beauleau > Lord (Lorre) > Panneton > Mongle.
Then, for potential parents for Blow-413 are Joseph Bleau or Blow (1823-1893) m. Archange Germain dit Belisle (1825-1859). The timeline and lineage fits, but we dont have any direct record matches with my ancestor that would not require a potential name change to Marie Louise Blow.
Thank you. I appreciate the suggestion :)
Removed the Du Croix notation per Martin's message. Leaving Cap du Sable as that is where he lived and they lived after the marriage. So while it is likely, it is not confirmed and is marked uncertain now.
There is no documentation supporting that Marie & Jean were married at Cap Sable as shown now at the top of this profile. This should be removed (even more that this change was indicated as certain).
On source 14 it is not Du Croix but really a small 'b' and it is Du bois. Supporting this: the 'r' that is not there, the small 'b' that is similar elsewhere (for example bans), the 's' that is similar (habitants) and the 'x' that is also distinctive (Robichaux). It cannot be Du Croix. It would also make very poor French and there is no other similar sentence "of the cross" in any other original documents from the period/region. This should not belong in the profile.
Question: On source number 14 is "du Bois" actually "du Croix" ? habitant .. The letters written elsewhere on the document suggest it might be du Croix or "Marie of the Cross." Identifying her Catholic faith.
The 'aka' Hautbois should not be there. There is not a single document of the time that has her "last name" entered like that. This is causing confusion with the existing Hautbois family that is not related.
RE category, I agree that there is no evidence to indicate the nation to which Marie belonged. I have changed the category to reflect this uncertainty, which is also conveyed in the biography.
Re Name: The Acadians project uses the naming convention of Stephen White who lists her as Marie (Christine) Aubois. Wikitree does not allow brackets so i placed it as a nickname, which likely draws more attention to it than is warranted. Christine is now mentioned only in the Biographic profile.

I'd like to add my MtDNA to this profile if possible. I can be found in the Acadian and Amerindian DNA projects at Family Tree DNA. Any further hints about my linage would also be welcomed.
I searched in Ancestry and in PRDH (programme de recherche en demographie historique) starting at Joseph Bleau and Archange Germain but found no obvious links, unfortunately. Maybe you could ask G2G for help in finding the parents of your great grandmother Blow-413, and build your line hopefully to Marie Christine Aubois.
Aubois-2 > Roy > Fontaine dit Beauleau > Lord (Lorre) > Panneton > Mongle. Then, for potential parents for Blow-413 are Joseph Bleau or Blow (1823-1893) m. Archange Germain dit Belisle (1825-1859). The timeline and lineage fits, but we dont have any direct record matches with my ancestor that would not require a potential name change to Marie Louise Blow. Thank you. I appreciate the suggestion :)
Marie is her given Catholic name.
Re Name: The Acadians project uses the naming convention of Stephen White who lists her as Marie (Christine) Aubois. Wikitree does not allow brackets so i placed it as a nickname, which likely draws more attention to it than is warranted. Christine is now mentioned only in the Biographic profile.
