So now, you say 'kinfolk' Interesting! Kinfolk have DNA that matches. You are proving my point. Melungeon is NOT a geographical place name; it is a FAMILIAL RELATIONSHIP and no matter what the name, a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

Redbones, Brass Ankles, Carmel Indians, Lumbee, Melungeons all share some of the same beginnings, similar cultures and similar treatment among other things.

We've been through this several times Joanne. Don't bother to post to my posts. We will NEVER agree and I personally think it is much better for us to just agree to disagree and leave each other alone. If you notice I haven't been posting to your posts even when I disagree.
