I,too,have read about this being in connection with the Melungeons. There are several websites concerning them. I think the one man who came up with the connection in the first place was a man named Brent McKinley. I think that was his name. Very interesting,though.

Dr. Truman Briscoe (b. 1758). Lived in MD and later descendants in GA. I have a somewhat rare blood disease (not fatal), Thalassemia minor, that doctors say is usually only seen in people of Mediterrean ancestry. I know of no ancestor from that area, so I'm polling all my ancestral lines for clues. My brother's daughter, my sister, and her younger son also have it. Do you have a clue for me? Thanks.
