I live up here in Melungeon country, and know a Melungeon. There has been a lot of new research the past few years. You might want to check out the East Tennessee State University site and the Lincoln Memorial University site.

I remember reading and interesting theory about the Irish origins of the Melungeon.
This theory was claiming that they are a racial remnant of the original inhabitants of Ireland. In other words pre-Celtic.
