Goins

Goins: "I am sad. This Forum has been slaughtered by a few people I really don't want to spend time with. It used to be fun.

One thing, I think I am right about my Goins bloodline. Oh, maybe not What's-His-Name Gaeweene or Gaeweere. Who on earth is arrogant enough to say they can cypher between an 'n' and 'r' in old handwriting?

I don't think my Goins-Gowen-Goan-Goin were Melungeons as mandated by some in this Forum, but they did have the mixture and the culture. They left Melungeon territory before the name was applied according to rules here. I still believe I've found what was so disturbing to my grandmother in that day and time."
