North American - Amerindian Heritage

Marie A. Rundquist researches her Amerindian family lines in the article, "Finding Anne Marie: The Hidden History of Our Acadian Ancestors", published originally on the French Heritage DNA Project website, and later in three historical society journals. The French-translation of "Finding Anne Marie", "À la recherche d’Anne-Marie" is available here as well.

Armed with her Grandmother Asselia S. Lichliter’s prior investigation of her maternal line, brought to light for the first time in this article, and a set of her own mitochondrial DNA test results, Ms. Rundquist travels back through four centuries of North American history, and lands in Port Royal Nova Scotia of the early 1600s, in her quest for her Native American maternal ancestor. During the course of the story, twelve generations of families are explored, whose surnames are shared with others having Louisiana and Acadian family histories: Gaschet d'Lisle, Gosselin, Denelle, Ouvre (Oubre), David, Hebert, Gauterot (Gautrot), Rimbault, and Anne Marie (?).

Ms. Rundquist continues her research of the North American - Amerindian branch of her family’s heritage, celebrates her family’s Native American ancestry, and cites the following DNA testing organizations, communities, projects, and research journals as excellent sources and references for those on similar journeys:
