Welcome to my Melungeon page. I have done some extensive
research, and although I have no concrete evidence of Melungeon ancestry,
I have found that many of these families share a striking similarity with my
own family's history.
That in itself has made me research the Melungeons further;
who they were? What they were? And where did they come from?
If you follow these links that I have listed here you'll notice that there
are various theories on who the Melungeons were, and what their ancestry was.
This makes the Melungeons all the more interesting, because no one knows for
certain their background or origins, (though many have VERY strong opinions
on the matter).
