BTW I didn't realize how hot Jean Beliveau was when he was young before making this thread. :x

Some regular folks (the people I posted before were athletes, politicians, and musicians).

Ali Landry is a walking stereotype of an Acadian, at least when her pics aren't photoshopped (to make her look more Anglo, it seems :coffee:)

I'm going to work on an Acadian genetics blog. I've noticed some interesting things with those I share with on 23andme.

Seems there is a split in affinity between Northern and Southern Europeans, although we cluster closely together on plots.

I've heard that all Acadians have some Amerindian admixture:

https://www.theapricity.com/forum/showthread.php?231703-How-Amerindian-are-Acadians

Former Canadian PM Paul Martin, Acadian, has Amerindian Y-DNA C3b.

Many Acadians also carry Amerindian mtDNA.
