Good grief. Congratulations Beth! Now we will all get to see assembled in one place your DNA, historical and other evidence sources.

It was my understanding from what you said before that you were collaborating with Donald Panther Yates on a book (to the best of my recollection). Is the book Joy has brought to our attention re the Melungeons merely the teaser to the main event where you show us how Jews and Muslims shaped the histories of the Western World and that the British, Germans etc. were really just minor players on the stage of history? I really don't mean to sound cynical - it just sort of came out that way.

I think we will all be interested in how your book is received. May the facts and the truth emerge and shine through veils of ignorance that have obscured our view.

Stewart match. As you know your colleague Dr. Panther - Yates matches 12 /
12 with quite a few Stewarts and a Rodriques. The number of matches to a
very wide variety of surnames is a phenomenal 139 in total! Obviously this
is a very common haplotype and unless you have a high resolution match what
is the point of contacting anyone in this group? My ancestors came from
England and I match a Guerra, and my cousin whose ancestors came from
Germany matches a Garcia. This is very common with an R1b haplotype and does
not indicate any meaningful connection other than thousands of years ago.
Just curious as to your reasoning.
