Melungeon Study

Question

I just notice theres no Melungeon Study. Could someone possibly start one, I would but I currently have more to do than possibly can and don't feel as though I can properly coordinate it. I am willing to help in any way possible. Thanks.

Answer 1

Here is a paper on a recent study https://jogg.info/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/71.006.pdf Are you wanting a WikiTree Melungeon Project?

The Appalachia Project has taken on this role of working with Melungeon profiles for a couple of years now.  it would be great to partner with the DNA Project on this one.

Answer 2

Hi Melodie,

I manage the Melungeon Roots space page. It's a part of the overall Appalachia Project. This is the same page that Ellen posted a link to.

Yes, I'm aware that that page needs some rework, but it does have links to a lot of resources there already.

Please let me know if there is anything specific that I can help you with.
