might be better if we're talking about French Canadian ancestry, and probably only if one's ancestors were here from almost the beginning, like with Samuel Champlain or thereabouts.

The French trappers/explorers didn't have many qualms about marrying the native women. There were very few white women around at that time.

Later immigrants found more white women available when boatloads of them were sent over by the French king. I have a couple of women ancestors who were "Filles du Roi"...or "King's Daughters". They weren't really his daughters, but widows and orphans given a dowry to come over and marry the Frenchmen.

I can trace quite a few diverging lines of my dad's family back to the mid - late 1600s and none of them has native roots except for that one M'ikmaq woman who is proving to be somewhat elusive.

I don't think the English were as...liberal, should I say...with their attitudes toward intermarriage with the native tribes.
