She is among the 100 most highly viewed Acadian profiles. Please contact the Acadian Project before making any substantive changes. Thanks for helping make WikiTree the best site for accurate information.

:DNA. The Mothers of Acadia Maternal DNA project is conducting ongoing research to verify her origins. In 2010, Stephen White reported, that her descendant(s) had a haplogroup of A2f. I don't know the details re how many of her descendants were tested but the haplogroup indicates Amerindian origins. Lucie Leblanc Constantino reported one result and maternal family tree here. Ongoing test results are also reported here.
:mtDNA. The Acadian Amerindian Ancestry DNA project is pleased to report new matching, haplogroup A2f1a mtDNA results for matrilineal descendants of Anne Marie. here. Matching mtDNA results, where descendants report mother-to-mother lines of descent from Anne Marie, have been confirmed through genealogy research and advanced, full mitochondrial sequence DNA test results submitted by matrilineal descendants of this line -- who belong to the A2f1a haplogroup, Native.≤ref>Roberta Estes "Native American Mitochrondrial Haplogroups" Native DNA≤/ref>
