Excuse my ignorance,but what is Melungeon? My Boggs were all black headed and black eyed withe the exception of my mother who had brown hair and hazel eyes. They claimed to be part and I've heard the term Black Dutch but till now I never knew what that means either. We never know till we ask the questions do we?
