René-Jean LeBlanc - Father of Daniel?

I see that the tree matches in MyHeritage for René-Jean LeBlanc list Daniel as his son. It's also very common in online trees, but I'm not seeing the source for it.

Larry Voyer doesn't list parents: http://larryvoyer.com/genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I99904&t...

From http://www.acadian-home.org/leblanc-family-history.html

This is what Stephen White (a LeBlanc descendant), Genealogist Moncton University Centre for Acadian Studies, states in his recently published Dictionnaire Généalogique des Familles Acadiennes:

i. The place of origin and the ancestors of Daniel LeBlanc are unknown. Some have wanted to believe that Daniel descended from a noble family of Dauphiné, based on research by d'Entremont (J. Alfred LeBlanc - the Origins of the LeBlanc Family, "Footprints of the Exiled: A LeBlanc Family Newsletter", vol I, 1986, p. 7), but the family proposed (to René to Alphonse to Pierre) is a Blanc or deBlanc family, rather than LeBlanc (see MM. de La Chenaye-Desbois & Badier, "Dictionnaire de la noblesse, 3e édition, Paris, 1863, vol. III, p. 314-317).

It looks like the parents of René-Jean LeBlanc and Jeanne Gaudet are a theory. WikiTree has a source for Martaize as Book:Bona Vol 2 Port Royal, ISBN: 0-7761-5027-8/0-7761-5029-4 (vol.2)., p.648.

Didn't realize it, but Daniel is my 10th GGF. Just had to refresh my connection.

We need David LeBlanc to get yDNA tested.. haha

I found this article to be very interesting and several of the yDNA tests are listing Daniel LaBlanc dit Alexander. http://www.danielleblanc.lglackin.com/

According to Robert J. LeBlanc, yDNA tests show that our origins are not from France, but Scotland and that the father of Daniel is Sir William Alexander (the younger) with 90% probability. He makes the case that Daniel's mother was a Micmac Native, which is why we're not able to find birth records.

Tagging Hon. Sir William Alexander, Governour of New Scotland so that it will show up on the profile's discussion tab and visible to those managers.

I've gone ahead and disconnected Rene-Jean LeBlanc & Jeanne Gaudet and left a curator note and information in the about section.

After looking at the yDNA for Daniel Leblanc, I think the story that Alexander was his father is more probable then Daniel being of French origin.
My question now is "Where is the source or proof that he was from France? I know from experience that sometimes what is written down isn't necessarily the truth.
Ex. My 3rd g. grandfather is written down as being born in Oromocto, NB on his death record, yet the 1851 census has him down as being an American born in the American colony. At the time of the census the family was living in, you got it, Oromocto, NB. The latter matches up with stories that my g.g. g. grandfather's family came from Mass and would also explain all the distance relatives there.

Through my husband, Richard Dennis Sherman, and his mother Cecile LeBlanc Sherman, we have absolute proof...dit... "tout en francais".

The original LeBlanc family tree transported and passed from one generation to the next in the original family bible from France!!!

Yes, it went from France to Abrams River, Nova Scotia, to Dorchester, and Newbury St. Boston, Mass., to Gainesviile, Florida.

Private, what does it say? Can you scan it? I haven't seen any documents yet that show Daniel came from France, when or where. Does it have any information on his parents? If it has some of this info, what a huge break through it would be.

Yea, French on my maternal grandfather's side, hence the name Landry. My mother's maternal grandfather was a Brown and my feeling on this is that his family, though from the US, was of German/English/Jewish ancestry on the male side but the female side is Scottish, Irish and God's knows what else. Haha!!! A true Canadian, Heinz 57.......

Jeff: That is the one we forwarded to you.

Plus, we speak to these people...all the time up until 2 years ago.

They lived to a ripe old age and terrific mental clarity!!!...all the stories and re-counting of their homeland France...

We will leave it to you genealogists re:Daniel's parents names.

Our tree, as you see starts/ends with Daniel LeBlanc b.1626 d.1695 m. v1650 Francoise Gaudet Mercier.

Oh, what you sent me didn't have any information on Daniel's birth location. The tree appeared to be written by a single person sometime after 1800. Can I upload it to Geni so we can reference it?

Speaking to one of our ancestors directly, Aunt Pauline Loughman, told of the actual original family tree down the road inside the family bible. This was inside the eldest son's, Sylvan's house on the family's Abrams River property.

Someone transposed it to the copy we have.

Also, she emphasized that our family origins were from the 1500's in France. "We" were forced to leave because "they" found out we came from royalty! We migrated mostly to Nova Scotia.

Yes, Richard and I will allow Jeff to post on Geni.com. but, Mart, the problem is, we do not have that 1500 version. It does not exist.
It was told to the family by the "regal" matriarch at the time, Aunt Pauline LeBlanc Loughman by her uncle Sylvain LeBlanc (brother of Romain LeBlanc) downhome at his property which was part of the LeBlanc family land between the Atlantic Ocean and Abrams River on Abrams River Road.
This was separate from my husband's family home/farm owned by Mary and Romain LeBlanc.
Oh, all the wonderful stories!!! Marcia

Here is the ancestry information the Sherman's sent me.

Wonderful Mart!

Tagging Unknown Leblanc, Unknown so it shows up on their discussion tab

I have also looked at parish baptismal records for Martaize and many surrounding parishes. No record of Daniel LeBlanc. Unfortunately, some do not go back far enough, as stated.

He may be the son of William Alexander and an Indian Maiden. This is according to DNA test. He may have been know as Daniel " le blanc" because he did not look like they other Indian kids. Mixed race kids were sometime not recorded in church records. William was in Acadia during the supposed time that Daniel was born. . William was the son of William Alexander, the earl of Stirling.

Hello, I'm in Australia. I descend from Joseph Marceau.
Joseph Marceau

He is my only connection to Canada/America. The rest of my family are from Great Britain.
Recently I tested with Genomelink and the results came back with 1% Native People of Americas.
From my line of Joseph I only ever cam across one suspected GGM, who has been debated as Micmac being Radegonde Jeanne Lambert
Radégonde Lambert
This has since been disproven I believe through MtDNA
I'm wondering Daniels line is where I should be looking as I can not find any other Grandparent other than French from this line.

Would love to hear from anyone who may have some ideas on this
