description:
The first Americans came to this land many centuries ago. During the 1500s people from across the Atlantic Ocean began to explore and settle America. Some of the first to settle in this New World were a people we now call Melungeon. Were these people survivors of the Lost Colony of Roanoke, successors of Portuguese and Spanish shipwrecks, descendants of one of the Lost Tribes of Israel or offspring of early Carthaginians or Phoenician seaman? For centuries these people and their origins have been cloaked in mystery.
