Excerpt"
"Berry's fifteen plus years of study of what he termed, the 'Mestizos or racial orphans' along the southeastern coast, was extensive for his time. It resulted in a depth of understanding achieved by few others. After summarizing a few of the established speculated name origins, he stated, "truth is, no one has the faintest idea where the name Melungeon came from." Berry wrote several articles from 1946 to the writing of his 1963 book, "Almost White', Publishers Collier Macmillian. Ldt., London"
