@theappalachianson: My family is one of those families who have Native American relative stories, but the DNA results say Spanish, Eastern European Jew and West African in addition to the British Isles. So tell me, are you Melungeon? #appalachia #melungeon

My Papaw is from Ironton, Ohio. He said his father was Blackfoot (he was not proud of that and blamed his father’s alcoholism on it). My mom’s DNA has Native American, western African, German, English, Irish, and Portuguese.

I definitely have Melungeon ancestry. My Papaw's last name is Mullins. I also have the shovel shaped incisors and that bump on the back of my head.

It has been rumored that my family has Melungeon ties. I’d love to find out more. What would the best genetic/dna companies to go through? I would ask relatives but there are none left.
