More has been learned since that posting:
and it is no longer valid.
However the DNA profile of Micheal
13 25 14 11 etc along with a few other key markers
including 385b=15:
The 25 and the 11 are especially key:
are consistently and overwhelmingly identified as an Irish heritage Subtype Profile.....
You might wish to run the markers for yourself to find the patterns
That doesnt mean he wasnt from Poitou
Many Irish moved to France in the 1600s......more than 40,000 did so: and a substantial portion of the French soldiers of the day were actually Irish.
We then add in an old priets record written in the early 1700s commenting on actually how he was surprised about the families in his midst that were actually Irish
who had escaped slavery in Boston.......the Grangers, Caseys and he claimed also the Pitres....
DNA testing is beginning to reveal there was around 5% Irish in pre Expulsion Acadia....
They are now easy to identify by their last names:
as they were clearly dit names
Champagne
Bordeaux
Belliveau.....all rather meaningless last names that were made up to be French in sound
as
opposed to actual French last names which were highly geographical usually or specific to trade
Unless you have proof that Micheal de Forest came to Acadia via Poitou: such as a labour contract
You might wish to explore some other avenues of entry before closing the door.
We learn new things every day.......and the information continues to get better. We now know Pierre Sirre was of Flemish extraction......and are closing in on a few families for him.
regardless of old postings saying he was from Bourgeil or the Jura Mtns....
One day there will be a sure fire hit for Micheal in Europe hopefully.........that will explain things.
Run his DNA numbers through a program called YSearch
and see what your closest matches are.......
I think you will find they are nearly all Irish.
