I did on the recommendation of another poster to this board. It is very enlightening. I have both both black and native American ancestry so I guess I am one of the "Virginia Mongrels" AKA melungeons. Go in peace. This is a tiring and sensitive subject. Melungeon is a nice way to say colored. All Mules are alike but none are related since they are sterile. Are they a subspecies or a group of individuals?Best of luck to you and yours.
