They went to Croatoan, right?
Go talk to the Lumbee tribe. They’ve always maintained that they were descendants of the Croatan Indians and the Roanoke Island colonists.
Just go visit the Lumberton area and Lumbee Indian tribe. That is where they went.
Hey, we found John Edwards’ “other America”...
How will they take cheek swabs from the ancestors?
I like the part about the colonists disappearing while their governor was away. Lots of us in New Jersey would like to try that trick.

Thanks.
Personal opinion is that they were attacked, either by one of the Amerindian tribes (such as the Roanoke), or by the Spanish. Otherwise, they could have written some sort of message explaining what they were doing—although they were delayed, the former colonists who have traveled back to Europe were supposed to come back.

I've already had one suprise by having my DNA analyzed. I traced my mtDNA (female) to an obscure Sa'ami tribe (Skoat) on the Kola Penesula(sp) and only 400 people alive today speak the Skoat Sa'ami language. They are in haplogroup 'V' and are so unique that they are described as the 'Sa'ami motif'. Benjamin Franklin was in haplogroup 'V' too.
My question is how did a Skoat Sa'ami become a Southeast Alabama farm girl (my mother)?
I was in Virginia a few years ago, and there was some info about a colony of about 400 that vanished, and years later traces showed up of their presence.
It was along the James River, and it was all quite fascinating, but my time there and then was limited.
I think that it was near Williamsburg, but I forget now because I try to get to the area every year and things in my memory sometimes get mixed up.
Is this about that same group?
Well! Interesting indeed! But I hope it’s not costing too much moola to do the research.
Interesting!
I read they died from starvation during a severe drought.
For what it's worth.

As a girl, I remember reading about Virginia Dare. http://www.outerbanks.com/manteo/history/vadare.htm The mystery always fascinated me.
I thought they did this last year on BBC. Maybe that was another DNA mystery to do with colonists. I remember growing up going to the Outer Banks every year. I miss how the Outer Banks used to be. Now’s it almost just for tourists...
