I too found that text overlaps on the Historical Melungeons site. I am amazed at the "proprietary" feeling of some of the posts/folks on this list. Obviously there are historical Melungeons and I don't think many people dispute that. However, the work of the MHA has done so much to enlighten and educate people about not just Melungeons, but the "Appalachian Metis"

Mendy this would be great if they changed MHA to Appalachian Metis Association, but their track record speakes for itself. Darlene Wilson and others claim the Applachian Metis are the Melungeons it's the only way they can stake a claim to the Historical Melungeons. Joanne has placed historical articles, records on her website and those historical records dispute this wild claim made by Wilson and others. Jon

> I just clicked on the link that Joanne provided below and found it very difficult to read, even somewhat chaotic. Is it just my browser or did you intend that pieces of text overlap each other?


Darlene,

I've had no other emails about browser problems, if I do they will be taken care of, maybe it is your browser. Yeah, well I am not a professional webmaster and I would much rather spend my money obtaining hard to get documents, clipping files, deeds etc., that requires renting micro-films and hiring researchers.

I am not competing with anyone, I seen a need for *real* documentation and hard to find articles FOUR years ago when the MHA website was nothing more than a page with a bunch of broken links. I may have more than several articles that are the same as MHA but mine were there first. If there is any competition it is on the part of MHA --- not me.

And I have no idea why you would write this;

"If you are, in launching a competing endeavor, chiding the MHA for being allied with Brent (and thus seemingly endorsing his theories), then you should be more forthright "

I don't give a hoot who MHA is allied with and I don't know how you can say they 'endorse' anyone's theories when they present dozens of theories on their website.'

This was not about who's site is prettier. There is actually one site that is much prettier -- theirs professes the Melungeons were from another planet.

Joanne
