Scientists Compared Scots-Irish DNA to Modern Americans — The Results Don't Make Sense!
In 2012, geneticists studying Appalachian families uncovered something the official history of America cannot explain. A genetic marker carried by millions of Scots-Irish descendants across Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, and the Carolinas predates the Ulster Plantation by nearly a thousand years. This is the buried story of how the population we call Scots-Irish became the genetic foundation of the United States, and how one in eight Americans of frontier ancestry carries a bloodline that should not exist on this continent. What their grandmothers always knew, the academy spent a century denying. SOURCES: Melungeons, A Multi-Ethnic Population — Goins, Estes, Crain & Ferguson, Journal of Genetic Genealogy (2012).
