Default DNA doesn't lie

Welcome to the wonderful world of genetics. I don't think all French-Canadians are Jewish but genetically have there roots elsewhere. I have been doing DNA research for the past year or two to help my genealogy quest. It's amazing what shows up. I know for a fact that both sides of my parents come from Scotland (yes, I can turn a penny into copper wire) but going back into time I have been able to see other areas that have connections. My DNA is mostly Celtic but has a match with some Nordic groups. Remember that the Vikings raided Scotland and Ireland. Going farther back in time I can trace my genetic roots through Europe back to the mid-east to North Africa.

Remember that Europe and Britain were invaded by the Romans along with their provincial armies and as any soldier knows "any port in a storm". So there are lots of little Caesars or Ahmads running around as French as can be.

Men test for Y-DNA which can only show their paternal line and women test for MtDNA which only shows their maternal line.

Of the hundreds of thousands that have done DNA testing it all points back to a genetic Adam and a genetic Eve (not the biblical ones).
