The Lost Colony Genealogy & DNA Research Group
|
Our Mission
Our Mission....Is to gather as much data as possible to prove that at least some of the
colonists did in fact survive as has been suggested by numerous historical accounts,
possibly having assimilated into the indigenous tribes of the area or having been taken
captive, or both. As the
various tribes moved inland, the colonists would have moved
with them. If the colonists were enslaved, they could have been sold or traded and not
remained as a group, being scattered
to various locations.
Our research group will be working to connect the genealogies along with the
historical records
and genetic results from individuals who are likely candidates to be descendants of the
Lost Colonists. We have assembled names of interest that are compiled from the Lost
Colony settlers and also from the early families found in the areas where the colonists are
believed to have settled. Early land transactions and grants reference individuals with many
of these last names as
Indians.
We have assembled names of interest that are compiled from the Lost
Colony settlers, earlier
Roanoke military expeditions and also from the
following groups of individuals:
1. Those who have any of the surnames of interest and whose genealogy ends
abruptly early in
Eastern VA or NC.
2. Those with genealogy placing their ancestors in early NC, preferably in the 1600's, but not
later then the first portion of the 1700s, the earlier, the better.
3. Those who connect via any of these surnames to the British Isles.
4. Those whose family has an oral history of being connected to the Lost
Colony.
5. Those with Native American heritage from Eastern or early NC or VA.
6. Those actively engaged in historical/genealogical research of early NC or VA, or the families
included in the "Surnames of Interest".
