So far I have found nearly a dozen 2nd to 3rd cousins who belong to the X mtDNA group associated with the Altai. This of course doesn't even include the 100s of other cousins I have from from just about every other haplogroup---including the male NC1. I think it's time we all get together and burn all those early Melungeon books---and start over. It seems rather "odd" that after all these years, my Appalachian Mountain family is showing to have far more in common with mixed Asiatic Gipsies (from Romania)---than they do with the old "mix of Black, White, and Indian" story. A very, very, tired story btw.<br />Band of Rheanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155234744851018796.post-79615481556109705692011-03-31T17:22:11.776-05:002011-03-31T17:22:11.776-05:00The writer is simply "Another Armenian Racist...The writer is simply "Another Armenian Racist"!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155234744851018796.post-8224436150571108932010-09-19T18:05:59.674-05:002010-09-19T18:05:59.674-05:00Anonymous; I would really like to know the names o...Anonymous; I would really like to know the names of the people you speak of. Some people have a very broad definition of Melungeon. They use the word to describe any mixed person in the South and this is simply not correct. The historical Melungeons were a distinct people with their own history. It is that history this blog seeks to present.Historical Melungeonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17731609082692626343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155234744851018796.post-91014864803313658072010-09-19T02:08:22.130-05:002010-09-19T02:08:22.130-05:00I know nothing of "being the first Americans&...I know nothing of "being the first Americans", but my great-great-great grandmother and father were Cherokee and Turkish (in that order) in eastern Kentucky. My great-grandfather's sister was the first (and so far only) person I ever heard use the term or describe our heritage as "Melungeons" ...interesting story at any rate since I'm extremely watered down with other lineages by now.
