In answer to question :
How do I go about tracing the MicMac heritage of where it comes into the French lineage of my family tree? My understanding is that on my father's side of the family( my grandmother lineage)is that a MicMac great-great-? ( don't know how many greats back) grandmother married a Frenchman ( last name Poitras). She was stripped of her Native name and rights. My understanding is that her father was a MicMac medicine man.

My understanding is the Poitras had settled in the Gaspe Bay area.
