Seventies: I was going to ask how to read it.
Daviss: well I just look lol There is so much to learn I like the new tools on Gedmatch

Seventies: lol I hear ya alt.
alt: I read the article on the Melungeon study and had to laugh.. this guy said he had his DNA tested 3 times, by 3 different companies, results were all the same and they differed from his oral history.
Seventies: lol that was funny!
Selma: Afternoon folks..
Seventies: Hello Selma
alt: hello Selma, good afternoon.
Seventies: Makes me curious though what is the real history of the Melugeon people
alt: and his understanding of Melungeon orifins origins
Seventies: We now know that they are not Turkish or Portugese Or Native American
Selma: You all have no idea
alt: I think they are explained by Paul Heniegg
Seventies: they must be fighting hard... lol
alt: mostly, white women having children with black men and those offspring marrying within their family groups
Daviss: ok back hello Selma
Seventies: You know I heard that they did that also in some creole communities in rural Louisiana.
Daviss: That Goins man said he tested 3 times lol to make sure he wasn't seeing things lol

ProfDru: It is what it is!
Daviss: thats what I'am saying Selma.
Selma: The Transatlantic Slave Tribe was globalization..all the major European countries played a part
ProfDru: I've been contacted by a Cornell Law professor about my Fields famly research. He is doing a presentation next month on George Fields who was the first AA law grad from Cornell. The professor sent me several documents on the Fields family; several from the Southern workman.
alt: wonderful ProfDru, I'm sure your research will be of great benefit to him.
Seventies: Nice ProfDru
ProfDru: The Southern workman was a publication of Hampton Institute.
Daviss: good to hear ProfDru
ProfDru: After George Fields mother died in 1891 several articles were written in the Southern Worman about her life. They are very detailed bios of her entire life. What a gold mine I've been given.
alt: your work is a good example of how 'grass roots' researchers can have an affect on 'scholarly' works ProfDru . Good Job!!!!!!!
ProfDru: I'll send you all the articles. thanks alt
Seventies: Melungo, that even sounds African in orgins...
ProfDru: The professor found me online through a query I posted some time ago. lol seventies

Daviss: also looking for his sermon called " Two Headed Rooster"
alt: this guy Goins lesson on 3 test by 3 different companies should tell some folks that they can't do DNA 'shopping' to get the results they want.
Daviss: lol alt, he went from total shock to mildly shocked mabe the first test he though was a mix up
alt: okay Selma, if it's on AfriGeneas I've probably read it, but a review of the older postings never hurts yeah, I remember Melungeons being a hot topice during that period 2004-2005
