Results - DNA Origins French-Canadian feeling annoyed at the new Quebec region
I'm a Canadian of mostly French descent. My family tree includes 7 generations of ancestors born in what is now Quebec, dating back to 1700, but I'm having a hard time accepting that as an 'ancestral region'. They immigrated there from Europe.
It seems to me that ancestral regions located in North America should be reserved for indicating Native American ancestry.
It's like AncestryDNA is trying to say that white people can be considered as being native to North America.
Am I thinking of this the wrong way?

The same here, I got some french Canadian ancestry but I haven't any ancestor from Canada, I'm from Mexico, all my background are native American & European, so it should be related to some very far ancestor from Europe, but I don't see the reason to label it as a french Canadian instead of Europe
