By Martha Short   Melungeon Tree - Will Allen Drongoole's famous article on the Melungeons. The first description ever in print in a national publication.

Tells about on-going research. By Judy Jones   Melungeons - Their Turkish Origins - by Mehmet Cakir - Term paper written by a Turkish student in Colorado.   Melungeons: Examining An Appalachian Legend - A book by Pat Spurlock Elder.

Some links. By Brenda Nichols.   Native American Muslims - An article about early contact between Native Americans and Muslims, which contends many Native Americnas adopted Islam.
