she easily passes in all North European countries LOL, who was she trying to fool?
She looks like an Olsen twin

you non-whites always think everyone is mixed
whites have curly hair and every facial feature in gods book

I’m white and i have to agree, she does look as though she could have some black blood, but who knows

FYI–lots of melungeons have claimed to be Portuguese (see Tom Hanks and Steve Martin)–generally thought to be false.
If anyone can name the verified Melungeon/African-American/Native American ancestors of any of these people, go ahead.
The apparently Native American ancestry of Elvis Presley is already recorded on his page.
I didnt know today was “Melungeon Pride Day”.
She is definitely part African American–she talked about being melungeon on a radio program. Recently, DNA has shown the melungeons/Lumbee Indians to be primarily descended from white European female indentured servants and black African slave men from one of the coastal countries of Africa.
if she is Melungeon, then she most likely is part black. Melungeon ‘s fight the dna results Tooth & Nail, but it keeps coming up the same thing
