Any articles you can point me to that support your conclusions? I don't doubt that a lot of folks would come up with other explanations rather than admit to African ancestry. I know that there is African DNA found in many Black Dutch lines, but I'm not convinced that *all* Black Dutch are necessarily of African descent. What I've seen leads me to believe that other non-European types are part of what seems to be a fairly non-specific term. I'd be especially interested to see the DNA data you mentioned. Thanks for whatever sources you can provide.
