Cindy,
This summer if you can make it, go to the Paw Paw Fair and you will see many tall people. The women are over 6 ft. I try to go every year some of my family enter the various contest and do win blue ribons once in a while.
Melungeon hugs,
Helen

Landers from a woman who was over 6' tall, and most of her relatives were
tall, too. They lived in WV.

Annual Fair, I see these tall 7-8 ft. groups of men and women. Another odd
fact about WV, no Indian tribe claimed the area but did use it to gather
food.
