Title
Contribution of Irish Immigrants to the Quebec (Canada) Gene Pool : An Estimation Using Data From Deep-Rooted Genealogies/La contribution des immigrants irlandais au pool génique du Québec (Canada) : une estimation à partir de données généalogique
Abstract
An examination of the integration of Irish immigrants and their descendants within Quebec's French-Canadian population. The authors explain that although Irish founders explain less than one percent of the total Quebec gene pool, results show that nearly twenty-one percent of the 2,223 ascending genealogies they examined contain at least one Irish founder. These founders contributed to the peopling of all regions of Quebec, but there are some important variations from one region to another. A majority of the Irish founders immigrated during the nineteenth century, and most of them came from the counties of Southern Ireland.
