Re: Crypto Jews
Jakay, Thank you. I will purchase the book. I think it is likely that I have Sephardic ancestors. But like my Native American and Angolan/ Congolese ancestor/ ancestors, I have yet to find them. Also. It seems that our Democratic society that was formed in those days maybe based on a combination of ...

Re: Crypto Jews
I believe it is highly likely that some of the Pilgrims were of Sephardic origins. I came across this article on a DNA study of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock landing.

Could the Portuguese matches possibly be of Native American Origin? I can not find any actual Portuguese ancestors withi...

Re: Guiana Amerindian Slaves in 1600’s Barbados
Marcia, I am happy to share anything I find. Nothing is a secret to me. Some families still hold secrets. I personally believe that now more than ever our familial secrets need to be unearthed and told. In our present day where there is discrimination amongst all lower class. Black and white. And th...

Marcia,
Or Native American sold and shipped to Caribbean. Possible. Or if truly Irish slave probably mixed with Carib Indians. Surui, Karatiana etc.

Re: Melungeon Skunk Strip/ Stripe
And I forgot to mention. That when I contacted the Pulaski Co, KY Historical Society they stated that their has never been proof of Native Americans residing in KY. Hmmm.... Wonder why they would say that.

Re: Melungeon Skunk Strip/ Stripe
Marcia, That's interesting. Especially the possible Jewish Mejia connection. Sephardic I would presume. Would tie in with Melungeon Crypto Jews as well I assume. In a side note. I apologize for not emailing you over the weekend. The flu is running through or home right now and I did get side tracked...

Family photo Vinita, OK
This is a photo card taken 1897-1898 of my 2nd great grandparents William Andrew Hammon Jr, sitting front, and Emma Rook and family. I believe the girl standing next to William is my great grandmother Flora Mae Hammon, wife of my great grandfather DeLoss Crittenden Ford. Hand on Williams shoulder is...

Re: Austin and Rice surnames
Dr. Yates, Thank you for your reply. I have read where Austin lines were Sub Saharan. Could be one source for my Sub Saharan and Jewish alleles I assume. I will check out the link. Thank you. I have read mention on rootsweb and other places where my Ballou/ Ballew line there were long hunters in tho...
