I am sure that somewhere in the genealogical make-up of the many branches and individual Landry family lines (which are astronomical in scope due to the geometrical expansion). However, as far as I know, neither of the Rene Landrys, even if you accept the remote possibility that they were related to Marie Sale, this does not make them part Amerindian. As far as Marie Sale being the widow of Jehan Claud, this also does not make Jehan Claud the father of either Rene, regardless of the metamorphasis of his name from Jehan Claud to Jean Claude then to Jean-Claude Landry. See webpage: http://www.landrystuff.com/jeanclaude.htm entitled: "Jean-Claude Landry, myth or progenitor" As you know for many of us researching the Landry family, "Jean-Claude Landry" is the focal point of much debate! He represents our connection between the Old World and the New World. Wishful thinking has many people believing accounts that he is that connection while others insist on verification before accepting that claim. The uncertainty is increased due to the lost of some Acadian church records kept back in the 1600's which were destroyed during a fire in the early 1700's. Don Landry don2717@aol.com
