My most recent Blog on this topic appears to be from April 2022<\/a>. The best way to update my wife’s French Canadian DNA is through her late father and two late Aunts using DNA Painter.<\/p>\n

A Summary to Date<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Richard is 45% filled in on his maternal French Candadian side, which is pretty good. This includes 5 ancestors on his LeFevre side and 7 ancestors on his Pouliot side.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lorraine is 40% filled in on her French Canadian side. She has 6 LeFevre side ancestors mapped and 5 Pouliot side ancestors mapped.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Aunt Suzy or Virginia is 37% filled in on her French Canadian side. She only shows DNA matches from descendants from two Pouliot ancestors and 5 LeFevre ancestors.<\/p>\n

Here, I have summed up the ancestors mapped:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I short-cutted and didn’t write down the spouses for all the male ancestors. The DNA could have just as easily come from the spouse in any case.<\/p>\n

X Chromosome<\/h2>\n

I notice that there are not a lot of matches on the X Chromosome. Perhaps I can fill in some blanks by looking there. The only place I have available for that is from FTDNA and Gedmatch.<\/p>\n

First, I’ll try Lorraine at FTDNA. Lorraine’s closest X DNA matches there either do not have trees or do not have useful trees.<\/p>\n

Lorraine and Elizabeth<\/h3>\n

Elizabeth has this tree:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

However, unlike Ancestry and MyHeritage, FTDNA does not suggest common ancestors. It appears that there could be a Tremblay connection. However, the X-DNA inheritance shows that it cannot be through Jean-Baptiste:<\/p>\n

The X-DNA Lines of inheritance must one of the following:<\/p>\n
