:DNA. The Mothers of Acadia Maternal DNA project is conducting ongoing research to verify the origins of Acadians. In 2010, Stephen White reported that a descendant of Marie Therese had a haplogroup of B2c. I don't know the details re how many of her descendants were tested, but the haplogroup indicates Amerindian origins. Ongoing test results are also reported here. As of June 2014, there were two results reported, both haplogroup B, but differing beyond the first letter.
