The table below provides information on my progress in identifying my direct ancestors. The oldest generation comprising a full set of my direct ancestors is my 4th great-grandparents, which I completed in May 2017. I've moved additional information about family connections to separate free space pages, for the sake of brevity on this profile. For those interested in learning more about my ancestors in New France, please see my page linked here. I also maintain a page entitled Greg Lavoie's Notable Family that goes beyond ancestral relationships and details notable cousin connections.

Results from Y chromosomal testing confirm my lineage genetically along the direct paternal line going back to the early 17th century.[4]
