Recently had a DNA test and have English, Dutch, Black, Irish, Jewish ancestry. the Jewish being the only surprise. I grew up being told we were Scots Irish and Cherokee. Now I wonder if we are Melungeon.
Where do you live? Where did your American ancestors live?
Traced my booodline from eastern missouri to William Riddle. It’s chilling to understand the familial line of suffering and resilience in such a long history of “never fitting in”
hello i too am from william riddle . my gggg grandfather was johnson rake riddle .

My Great-Grandfather, always, claimed to be "full blooded Black Dutçh. I've recently, learned that this is far more extensive in my family than we had previously believed. To such an extent that it's the closest I will come to identifying with any race. And, like my ancestors, I'm VERY proud of my Melungeon heritage.
Honor all your ancestors
As someone born in the Republic of Turkey, I am happy to come from the same roots as you.
Have you taken Ancestry dna test? If so did you get Sardinia as one of your ethnicities? We did and we don't have a clue where that came from!😁
@@maryriser7836 I got Sardinia on my father’s side
The black dutch are Gypsies take originally come from india The ottoman Empire attacked India and kept people from India as slaves. Freed themselves from slavery. And went up in the Europe and were recaptured as slaves by Europeans.
One of the best documentary films I have ever watched! Thank you
Thank you very much Loretta
Thank you!!! This makes complete sense for my family.
This is an eye opener documentary about Melungeons and American history
Thanks
They arrived from Wales in the 6th century after a comet devestated the UK in 562 AD. They were lead by Prince Madouc, brother of King Arthur II who later arrived with 20,000 people in 700 ships and sailed up the Ohio River. King Arthur II was mortally wounded in battle there in 579 AD, according to Welsh records
Fascinating documentary. Great research by Mr.Kennedy .
I love historical documentaries
None of this is surprising if you know American history. As late as the 1920’s the “white” Americans thought only Northern Europeans and Scandinavians were white. Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Turkish would all be seen as “not white”. The Land of the Free is founded on racism because it became the best way to rationalize genocide of the natives and enslavement of pretty much anyone brownish. They had one-drop laws to make sure mixed people would be held back from any power because those people might identify with the other brown people held in bondage. The need to keep the enslaved Africans and interned Native Americans from holding property and voting and later keep them down with segregation, meant these “not white” people had something in common. So you can imagine 200 Ottoman sailers looking to survive and taking wives from surrounding groups of various Native American tribes- those that survived disease and the trail of tears- plus escaped or freed African Americans. Most Native American nations identified by culture, not skin tone, so there are little surviving groups of mixed people all over those areas. All survivors of our history. They’d need help to learn to survive there, and some genetics and culture would be shared. Think, all the grandparents and in-laws of those first generation families would be Native American and or African American, which might explain how Turkish words got into other languages, rather than a whole group just speaking Turkish. And sadly, as generations went by, it would also make sense for those who looked white enough to leave the area and pretty much say whatever they needed to “French” “Black Dutch” to escape the racist laws holding them down. But what did that do for those who couldn’t? Left behind, disowned by their lighter toned cousins, themselves desperate to provide equal rights to their kids in an unfair society. So goes our hypocritical history. Keep it history. If you are an American, vote against racists, vote for equality. Even innocent sounding things like school vouchers are a form of segregation. Don’t let them scare teachers into not teaching history. Y’all seriously, this history is a lesson.
Y'all seriously, it's so easy to spot the colored thinking of genZ "racist colonists" brand of western civ curriculum. No one born in this century will ever look to see Gen Washington promised freedom to slaves who served a year fighting. That's right. 25% of the Continental Armym 1 in 4 of those soldiers were dark. DAR recognized & salutes this. Too bad our core curriculum does not. Baaa
Very astute observation but I just finished watching and they was so proud of the Turkish they basically dismissed their african heritage like they didn't want nothing to do with it especially that heavy set heffa but nevertheless I'm glad the geneticist pointed it out great watch I would recommend this to historians
I've been lucky enough to find it and watch it- I am speechless ...
What a wonderful documentary. They did lots of research & interviews.
very interesting, they were and are a hearty people, they are by no means just plain folks we should recognize them as true pioneers, mountain people of America true heroes of our early history
This is an excellent documentary.
God Bless Melungeons
This film is methodically paced and well produced.
This documentary is amazing! I recently found out that I am part Melungeon :-)
Hi from turkey 🖐
Very interesting. I will be searching about Melungeons
Excellent!
WOW hundreds of Turkish words observed in Native American languages!
They are pre-turk
Они карачаевские
My great grandmother is Calonia Mullins of Wise, Virginia. Her brother was Noah Mullins. She is burried in Wise.
We did interview an anthropologist: Her last name is Mullins. I advise you to watch her interview. Historical facts about Mullins Last name.
@@POSITIVEBROADCAST Please? MULLINS Mela
I'm Melungeon my people are from Hancock county Tennessee we have very dark skin and then some are blond hair and blue eyes but I'm very proud of my people
Приветствую, я карачаевец тюрк. Эти моряки, были карачаевцы. Почитай литературу про своих далëких предков, и про родственников. Ваша родина Северный Кавказ Карачай.
Easy watching for any mood!!! Just Really Damn Rewatchable :-))))
We are all children of one father. It really doesn't matter where we've been only where we are going.
They have lived amongst undetected and unknown.
They're simply mixed people.
Did you watch the video melungeons have never been undetected 😂
Very interesting and wonderful documentary....
Thank you very much.
amazing film i love it
Wow, this is so Awesome, Great Video . These Great Melungeons, were/are living in Gods Cathedral, Nature, nothing man builds is a Great as Gods Nature, the former Sephardic Spaniards, Turks, Moors and Muslims and other ad mixtures were very strong people running from religious fighting in Europe or Looking for a new start
Fascinating history.
Researchers have found some Melungeons with Turkish ancestors. However, DNA testing reveals more African ancestry, among Melungeons, than Native American, or Turkish ancestry.
Rest assured that my Melungeon research is ongoing. I need to clarify that the Ottoman admixture is one of many off shore other Elements! That is why I coined the term Melungeoness. Descendents often are unaware of this ancestry.
Not true
I have 4% african and way more native and European im a true mutt
I got Arabian, Levant and Egyptian
If you’re referring to the study done by amateur genealogists that National Geographic premiered it turns out that the few people tested may not have been melungeon. There are government tests that show most melungeons are a mix of Native American Mediterranean(frequently mid-eastern Anatolian area) North African and Sub Saharan African and Northern European. There are also other admixtures in some families and in some families there so far has not been some of these. The study is ongoing.
My Portuguese/Croatan Clarks and Coopers are from the same bloodline. They lived in western NC.
Sizemore. My Sizemore ancestors are a notorious Melungeon Family that are also recognized as Cherokee.
Why can't people celebrate diversity instead of persecuting it?!
It is a glorious documentary film, more research should be made. And that is the opinion of many Melungeons
my daughter is black from her dad, who has blood from west africa; navajo and welsh from my mom and hispanic from my dad. is she a melungeon???
black european and indian american????
@@nurfacealways No but she is beautifully blended.
They look exactly like Roma
Many photos do have a very Roma appearance. I noticed that right away. As a marginalised group from Europe, it makes sense they would seek a remote, anonymous existence in a new land.
I love Elvis Presley and Ava Gardner :-)
Mi familia
I do not know about you, but to me, Melungeons are Americans.
Wrong
lol yes they’re literally citizens of United States
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Facepalm to the max.
I always thought we were a soup. My heritage is.
I am black with extremely mixed ancestry. With Dark skin with corkscrew curls
I love the Cherokee dancers
I am gonna watch it again
Lincoln and Pressley being Melungeon is not proven!
Im related to both elvis and lincoln
Keşke haberimiz olsada Melungeon kurultaylarına N J Patersondan bizde katılsak .
they should have done voiceover,
we had a very limited budget matter fact we have spent thousands of more dollars than we were granted.Thanks
@@POSITIVEBROADCAST The captioning is good. I would appreciate it for the English speakers as well though as I am hard of hearing.
HONOR ALLL of your ancestors
My People Are From Wise County My Grandmother was Kate Wise Poole. My Father Alexander Poole❤
You sure could be a Melungeon! Welcome to this unique mix of the cultural world….
Is there a list of the songs in this documentary?
Whoever they are, I think they’re an attractive and unique looking people. Did they ever have their own language? The appearance of a regional genetic disease that didn’t make sense makes me think of the recent discovery of CF and Tay Sacks in the central Irish population.
Abraham Lincoln, Elvis Presley are OK but Andrew Jackon is a big BIG question mark?????
Andrew Jackson was not. That is a slap in the face to the Native Indigenous of Turtle Island.
I am a true Melungeon but I am not Turkish
😀 Not problem.Melun can is a turkish words.Melun is old turkish.By the way It is a privilege to be a Turk.🇹🇷
@@Invictus_nike some melungeon families do not seem to carry Turkish genetic markers. It was not meant as disrespect to Turkish people just that that they are descended from a different people of the Old Ottoman Empire or they did not inherit it in their genes.
As interesting as this is, as a descendant of the Evans, Chavers, and Shoemake Melungeons of the Pee Dee river, my genealogy leads to African paternal heritage and either N. European or Amerindian maternal heritage from the Virginia and Carolinas. Not Turkish/Arabic, or Gypsy.
I have ancestors from pee dee too. I got Egyptian, Arab, Levant and West African.
It could also just mean that you didn’t inherit enough specific markers or that you only got a basic dna test that doesn’t do a deep analysis. For example it’s impossible to trace Y chromosome markers in a maternal line.
great documentary who cares
Locklear is a classic Lumbee name.
we are all 1 so who cares
NONE of those pictures in the vid are Melugeons.
Melugeons are originally from a Female European Woman from England and a Sub Saharan African Male from Angola./Congolese.
So they are largely Turkish or Mediterranean, mixed with Red Indian, African, and a bit of others
What language is the narrator is speaking???
English captions would be helpful.
For the English speakers? I agree. I'm hard of hearing and would love accurate captioning for some soft spoken people.
Who is the narrator? What the heck. I cant understand it.
There are subtitles because the narrator is not speaking English.
What language are these people speaking? It doesn't sound like anything I have heard.
Turkish

Too bad it’s not in English 😴
Everywhere TURKS 😄🇹🇷
Hard to believe
I think they better throw out the "white" classification at the doctor's office. If you are Italian, Scandinavian, Central American, Northern African and Iberian....and while they are doing that better throw out the Afro American because of all the Irish and Northern European dna.
Melungeon = Mulatto + Indian ( Injun ) Mulinjun
Mulengeon is a given derogitory slang for a mixed race person ( Europe & Africa ) who claims to have partial Native Indian blood. Turns out there was no Indian blood.....it was a cover story.
Ok,now check into President Davis's wife why don't y'all 😊❤
The range of Melungeons was not only light skinned white looking people. There were very dark skinned versions as well as shades in between. And the same racial caste that was prevalent in the mainstream society existed in Appalachia, of course. In fact, there's a video about Jim Crow laws within the Appalachian communities, which would only be logical. I'm mentioning this because the majority of Melungeons who are interviewed or shown in these presentation are white people.
If you watched the documentary carefully you will see many comments including as African Americans mixing in to this group and named as Dutch black at one point in history! Also we have included many photos showing the racial mixes including Africans Turks Jewish Europeans North Africans and many other ethnic groups! Your comment is not appropriate for the point you are attempting to make! We did not run into any researchers with the darker skin color that you would expect to see! Melungeons were never racist towards a skin color because they believed in the souls of the people which they have prioritized…
Карачаево балкарцы предки мелунгов, а предки карачаево балкарцев, это Аланы и гунны.
Ommimen Melungeon are Indian!
Melungins are multiracial!
