Bumping due to Yahoo! article: DNA study seeks origin of Appalachia's Melungeons.

The article is more interesting than the usual Yahoo! article, as it goes into the WHY, instead of just stating a fact or two. Enjoy!

Wouldn't it be amazing if it could be proven that these Melungeon ancestors were Roanoke colonists?

I have followed that story since I was a child. I would love to have a resolution to that story.

I would love to know of anyone who descended from the Roanoke colonists, Melungeon or not! Does John White have any other descendents?
