Re: knots and bumps and differences, oh my!: "''And re Joanne's being a good researcher Joanne looks for things to prove her theory. Anything that does NOT support her theory, she pooh-poohs and discards.''

Knots and bumps are not a theory. This myth or story you keep yarning has no proof, nothing at all to document it. YOU have a theory and are trying to prove it by bumps, ridges and diseases.

I have no theories. The Melungeons said they were Portuguese and unless or until someone can dispute that I will continue to believe our ancestors. They never said they were Turks. Period. And now you are trying to prove they were with some mystical knot that no one knows anything about except 'five Turkish guys' and Brent's mystical 'resource team'

Any researcher worth their salt would require at least ONE piece of evidence to back up the story you have perpetuated.

All the best
