Curtis Cristy,

I asked the question of you because of this assertion: " ... even if Goins is the only one that every shows it, that the fraternization among the lines, the close connections kept that led to them continually moving along together, marrying back and forth, etc., PROVES that they started out very early with a kind of familial connection that wasn’t necessarily by blood, per se, but by the kind of connection that the work Melungu implies. Given the way the term is used …." If you are using the Goins surname as an integral prop for your Angolan speculations, should you not also assess the appearance of the surname among the other similarly situated multi-ethic enclaves where "melungeon" was not commonly used?

Do you consider your assertion distinct from the assertions promoted in the writings of Tim Hashaw?
