Who Are You People?

So, I've recently become aware of a couple of those "skeletons".

We are somehow related to ( maternal grandmother's side) the White's of West Virginia. ( re: The wild and wonderful white's of west va). I am also the great great neice of Devil Anse Hatfield ( yes of Hatfield/McCoy feud).

I joined ancestry.com for the free membership to see what else I could find, but will try to hook up with my Aunt who has been tracing at least my maternal grandparent's roots and see what all she has dug up. I know part of my grandmothers family are Melungeon, and part I may never know as her parents were killed for being a "mixed" couple. I will hopefully find more of my grand dad's family and then I will begin looking more on my Dad's side.

What I do know so far on my Dad's side, is his father is Scot with lines back to Robert the Bruce and his mother was Dane and Polish. It may take a few years to track them and I may never be able to find them all, but it should prove very interesting!

Cool thread idea!

Thanks!
