Both of your posts are interesting and enlightening.
The story of the Melungeons is intriquing. There's a lot of theories out there also, probably more than actual forensics evidence of who they are.
I live up here where they pretty much settled and bred, and the purest form of that unexplained race is concentrated.
The University of Tennessee has one of the top (if not the top) forensics school in the U.S., so maybe there is some research/ evidence of this race of people available.
