Re: Africans in Early American pre History
The Olmecs must have been of Sub Saharan African origin based on the statues found in Central America. Rafinesque also speaks of “black African looking” Indians in Northern California. So much of the Americas history is lost or “hidden”. I presume “hidden”. For what ever reasons. In America if one w...

Re: Family photo Vinita, OK

My 2nd great grandmother Emma Rook was half sister to the Oxford children from that marriage. Yes. We are connected through my Rook line that way. As well as we are connected via the Veatch ...

Re: Melungeon test
According to Sue Levin the Melungeon reference population is the most current at DNA Consultants. I asked her yesterday if an update was available or necessary for me. Even though my Melungeon Fingerprint Plus gave me Melungeon as my number 1 match. On the word Melungeon there are many theories out ...

Re: Thuya
I have a picture of my younger brother I am looking for at the moment. It is quite shocking to see after learning what I have learned of my genetic profile. I will post here once I find it.

Re: Thuya
I have read also where the color of her and Yuyas hair was due to the mummification process. I am not a scientist. But seeing how hair and finger/ toe nails are virtually “dead” skin cells would make one believe that the skin of Thuya and Yuya would have been “bleached in the mummification process a...

Thuya
An article from July 9, 2019.
The reopening of Thuya’s sarcophagus.
Asiatic Hebrew Phoenician features? Maybe. But definitely reddish blond hair.

Re: Green dot Central North America
Marcia, We do have some similar matches. Michigan area Indians. Florida and Mexico also. I am starting to think there was an NPE in my Ford line somewhere. Especially given the photos I have. I have also found a photo from early 1900’s of a related Ford family that have children that look very simil...

Re: Austin and Rice surnames
This John Austin is likely the son of my Richard Austin III and Elizabeth Rice. All presumably of Pamunkey, Catawba and Saponi origins. Here is a link to the transcribed Pleas and Quarterly minutes of Rowan Co. NC 1755 whereas Said John Auston a Saponi Indian and two other Indians requesting passage...
