I would add that any people's culture is hugely important to who they are
and where they come from.
I don't care just about names and lineages. I want to know about their way
of life , their culture, their recipes and folklore because that's where the
richness comes from.
Well said, Mike.

Melungeon is a way of life
(not by choice but by destiny) and it definitely is a culture. It's a vast
and rich culture and deserves a lot of respect for our ancestors who lived
it.
