Answer 1

Yes, if they are of Melungeon ancestry, they are ultimately of African heritage. The Melungeons, I believe, are of Portuguese, Spanish, American Indian, and African lineages. A good book on the history of these fascinating people is "The Melungeons: The Resurrection of a Proud People : An Untold Story of Ethnic Cleansing in America": http://www.amazon.com/Melungeons-Resurrection-People-Cleansing-America/dp/0865545162

Answer 2

And Barrack Obama was raised by his white blood relatives family. It's funny how Heather Locklear having some black blood is more important.



Who cares. We all got the blood of everyone else. IT'S AMERICA.

Answer 3

Wow! Why call them Melungeon though? How strange is white, Native, and black DNA, even combined??

Answer 4

Being that Sicily is close to Africa, I probably am also.

That would explain a few things!

Answer 5

It's possible...but two of those people are dead and the other two probably wouldn't admit it.



Interesting, though.
