My ancestor listed as "negro" was probably Native American or at least part Native American. I guess its not possible to find out which tribe? What tribes were native to Western Maryland? Lonaconing? Also, I have traced another branch of my family to Bath County Kentucky and the melungeons. Melungeons were a mixed race of Native American/white/spanish or native american/black/spanish. (or any of a number of other races depending on who you ask). Anyone know what native american tribe or tribes mixed with these Appalachian people? ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
