Two different things. Cajun is white and descended from the appropriate bloodline of settlers. Creole is usually mixed with negro, spanish white, and native. People get the food descriptions mixed up too.

I be cajun, born and raised in s. Louisiana. Hebert, second most common surname behind Fontenot. My daddy couldn't speak English til they made him learn it in school. He never graduated but went on to be a very successful person and family man.

My Dad was born in Louisiana. He always joked he was a Yankee, Because he was born near Monroe.....

The quickest determination of being a Cajun is how you make your coffee and what kind do you use.
If you fill the filter to the brim with original Community or the cheapest store brand, you Cajun !

People get the food descriptions mixed up too. Yup. Cajuns are descended from French settlers that got ran out of Nova Scotia by the British in the mid 1700’s. They came to Louisiana because it was a French territory. Cajun food is basically French cooking adapted to what was available in Louisiana. Creoles are a mixed race people as said above. Their food is similar, but not interchangeable. Both Cajun & Creole foods are excellent.

"Cajun" is how they pronounced "Arcadian."
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

People get the food descriptions mixed up too. If the jambalaya is reddish it's Creole. If it's brown it's Cajun. If the gumbo has tomatoes in it it's Creole.

So far I’m the only one that posted the pedigree as outlined by the OP However, as you can see from this set of DNA communities, look at the timelines, just because your people settled in the area or you were “born and raised” in the area, doesn’t mean you are Cajun. If your DNA doesn’t show you as Cajun as in my first post, you aren’t.

Originally, the Acadians were French who lived in the area around Nova Scotian, PEI, and New Brunswick. During the French and Indian war, the British kicked thousands of them out of Canada. Before it was over, nearly half had died from starvation and disease. A good number ended up in what's now LA and became the Cajuns. As a side note, Longfellow wrote an epic poem about the expulsion called Evangeline. It was about a young Acadian girl who was trying to find her lover in the confusion of the expulsion. We had to read it in school. I remember a little of it 65 years later because I was a farm boy. Longfellow was trying to describe how good looking Evangeline was and he said she had the sweet breath of the kine. Well, kine was an old English word for cattle. She had cow's breath. Those of us who had cattle laughed ourselves silly. The teacher tried to explain that the cows ate sweet clover that gave them sweet breath. That's total BS of course. A cow's breath will peel wallpaper no matter what they eat.
