The Melungeon DNA Project is a study of males and females who have proven known Melungeon ancestors, according to old records, and agreed on by some of the top serious Melungeon reseachers. The participants must descend in a Genealogical useful line; i.e., father to son to son, etc. for the Y chromosome testing and Mother to daughter to daughter, etc. for the mtDNA testing. The DNA results, combined with extensive genealogy research, hopefully will open some new windows for research on the Melungeon people.
Everyone joining must present genealogy in a reasonable time.
Project Information and Goals
DNA information is to be used in conjunction with historical and traditional research. DNA results do not often “prove” a relationship, but can be quite helpful in guiding research. If a profile does not match, obviously a hypothesized relationship may be incorrect. At other times it may point to an unknown adoption in the family, or some other so-called non-paternity event.
There will be three groups for males
Group 1: Core Melungeon
Group 2: Families of Interest
Group 3: Other
Bunch, Goins, Gibson, Minor, Collins, Williams, Goodman, Denham, Bolin, Mullins, Moore, Shumake, Boltons, Perkins, Mornings, Menleys, Breedlove, Hopkins, Mallett, with various spellings of these names. More names may be added as our research continues.
Prior approval by the administrator is required for becoming a participant in this project.

Joining the Melungeon DNA Project if you have already been tested at Family Tree DNA:
This is very easy to do. Your results will appear in both places. You will belong to two projects. FTDNA did this because many requested that they be allowed to join Geographical or Ethnic Projects as their second choice. There is a button on your personal page to click on to do this. Request Melungeon DNA Project if this is your choice. There is no charge for this service. You will have to be approved by the administrator.
