For her mother’s French Canadian side Madonna’s family tree is at http://www.nosorigines.qc.ca
Her family tree starts here: http://www.nosorigines.qc.ca/GenealogieQuebec.aspx?pid=623
She is a descendant of Pierre Miville who is Swiss here:

She has English ancestry through Priscilla Melanson here:

So Madonna’s father is full Italian as far back as we know & on her mother is French Canadian with mostly French descent with some Swiss & English ancestry.
Madonna is Italian, French, Swiss, English.

No problem, glad I could help :)
Also can you update Celine Dion’s ethnicity, I wrote a comment with her confirmed French Canadian background. Celine is predominantly French from France, & has some Scottish, Swiss, Portuguese, and Algonquin (native) ancestry.
