I use to listen to the “old folks” talk about how we settled in Louisiana, by way of France, in the late 1500s. Now I am one of the old folks and I don’t know squat. I thought that maybe Jane Gallion could straighten out things.

I found this interesting, you may too.

Something You Didn't Know About Cajuns (Ilenos, Canary Islands)

I checked my DNA and here are the results:

* yDNA (Male) = R1b - Norwegian by way of Ireland. (Maybe a Viking?)

* mtDNA (Female) = 'V' - Skolt Sami from Finland.

We've always considered ourselves Irish.
