For individuals, the feeling of belonging to a group is built upon both their perceived knowledge of their origins and their construction of identity, which is affected by many sociocultural, economic and political factors. To what extent does an individual's reported origin accurately reflect his or her ancestral origins? Using data from a survey conducted in the Gaspé Peninsula of eastern Quebec, Hélene VéZINA, Marc TREMBLAY, Eve-Marie LAVOIE and Damian LABUDA compared respondents responses to a question about ethnic origin with their actual ancestral origins, as determined through genealogical reconstruction. While their genealogies showed that almost all of the individuals had multiple origins, nine out of ten indicated a single ethnic origin. This was especially the case for those who identified as Acadian or French Canadian. In most such cases, the single origin matched the most represented group among the person's ancestors, with an advantage for the paternal lineage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
