In respect to genealogical Y chromosome DNA testing let me suggest that in order to keep the cost of testing down you order your DNA test thru one of the existing DNA Project Studies at Family Tree DNA. A basic 12 marker test normally runs around 170 U.S. dollars, however if you order your test thru one of the existing DNA projects the cost is reduced to 101 U.S. dollars.
Projects such as the Canadian Anusim Project which is designed to determine which French Canadian families are of Sephardic Jewish ancestry is open to all families of French Canadian ancestry. If I recall correctly the Cardinal surname is one of the names often thought to be of likely Sephardic ancestry and I am sure they would welcome your participation. If interested the web address is:
