#1 I my genealogical research, I have, in the area where some cousins lived, I have heard of a culture called Mulangeron. They have swarthy complexions and black hair. This is in the Applachian region where there is a border between Tennessee and North Carolina. . .

Some documents refer to these folks as "Turks" legend has it that these folks were descendants of a crew of a merchant ship that sank off the coast of North Carolina during a storm (Hurricaine?) during the moid-1700s, and they had no way back. Somehow they moved inland and became integrated with the local communities along what would be the TN/NC line

No Islamic remanants, as all joined either the Protestant or Catholic local communities. . .

#2 Heard a lot of the same thing BigEd. My favorite funny family thing is great granny preShipman. According to all in the know she was 100 percent take it to the bank Cherokee Innjun Maiden. I can take one look at the both of the surviving photographs and wager..... sure one of them African American Indians. LOL! Denial is every whichway. Hey it's the south! It's what we do!

#4 There were also Germans of Portugese ancestry who came here. The Madera family were Germans, but were actually descendants of Portugese exiled to Germany because of their Lutheran faith. The later came to Pennsylvania. One member of this family had a gas station-garage with his name on it, and was visited by some long lost cousins from Portugal who knew the story from the other end. An Alex Hailey moment.

My great-grandmother's sister married a Madera, and the owner of the station was her great-grandson.

#6 Wat a bunch of bullshit. This doesn't explain the proliferation of delicious carnitas or the fact that a Cuban sandwich features HAM and ROAST PORK.
