French Heritage DNA Project
Sponsored by the French Canadian Heritage Society of California and
the Southern California Genealogical Society.
The
French Heritage DNA Project is dedicated to the hundreds of
founding ancestors who came primarily from France to Canada in the 17th century.
Our membership consists of persons of French, French-Canadian, Acadian, Métis,
and/or Cajun descent. The French Heritage DNA project tracks members' YDNA and
mtDNA signatures, associated haplogroups and SPs, patriarchal and matriarchal
names and their origins (including Acadian, Amerindian, and other historical
notes). We post anonymous test results on the Web in order to increase project
participation and facilitate collaboration among interested parties.

The French Heritage DNA Project objectives are:
- To establish DNA benchmarks for proven and/or alleged French ancestral lines
- To make members' anonymous DNA test results available online for comparison
with others
- To create and support lineage projects for documented descendants of the
Carignan-Salières soldiers and the Filles du Roi
- To confirm or reject paper trail genealogical descendancy claims
- To provide a mechanism through which cross-cultural surnames can be associated
or disassociated
- To support FamilyTree DNA (FTDNA) surname, lineage, and
geographical projects
