At present there is only one person in the group whose ancestors are known to have come from Canada; most, including my husband, have ancestors who can be traced back to Virginia in the late 1700s. Some of these lines are thought to have come out of France. It would be exciting to see how dna from those who settled in Canada compares with the other groups.
