Travel by ancestry -- to a quest for the David dit Saint Michel bloodline in France (where it is now legal to have DNA tests for genealogy purposes!)

Help research the Acadian - Cajun David (pronounced dah-veed) family line. The earliest- known progenitor of this line, Jean Pierre David dit Saint Michael, who was born in the Parish of Saint Nazaire, France, was exiled from the Fortress of Louisbourg in Nova Scotia, Canada, by the British in 1758 and died en route to La Rochelle. The bloodline of ancestor Master Blacksmith Jean Pierre David, carried in the Y Chromosome DNA of his sons and paternal line descendants, now living in the United States, may very well be the most promising key to the David family's lost legacy -- in France!

Genealogy researchers in France: The Acadian Amerindian Ancestry Family Tree DNA Project and Jean Pierre David dit Saint Michel descendant, Earl David, encourage MALE participants who have the "David" surname and suspect that they are related to our earliest known ancestor, Jean Pierre David dit Saint Michel (originally of France) to verify their genealogy and order a Y chromosome DNA test through the David dit Saint Michel Family Tree DNA project.
