David and anyone else interested in Melungeons:
Hi! there are presently two bulletin boards for Melungeons:



This site is really pretty contentious from time to time, usually over issues
of who is and is not a Melungeon. These arguments are informative, however,
and resemble those found on Native American and Jewish bulletin boards where
ancestral criteria are also hotly debated.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Can do without the latter. I am occasionally the recipient of "jabs" on the present site - and when motivated enough feel compelled to provide a rebuttal. Sometimes this can be productive, but often not. Today I accessed all the sites you mentioned and many more - each of which has links to numerous other sites. I can see how one could easily make the study of the Melungeons a lifetime's work.

Your mother-in-law's familial names,e.g.,Sabra, are Arabic/Hebrew as I'm
sure you have learned.

>>>>>>>>>>>>Yes, but due to its rarity I wondered what it said about the parents who named the child.

I will be very happy to send you the Join Code for the Melungeon site at
FTDNA. We have not yet made the results public on an accessible website, as they are still listed by the donor's name. Wonderful to have you and anyone else! Beth

>>>>>>>>>>> I would love to have these codes Beth. My mother in law's mtDNA information is on her FTDNA page. I would also like to add my mother in law's information (both mtDNA and DNAPrint, when available) to any suitable site(s) since the DNA and genealogical evidence suggests rather strongly that she is from "classic" Melungeon stock.

Thanks, David.
