Скачать или смотреть How I Learned I’m Melungeon (And Why It Finally Made Sense)

Hey everyone, I’m Travis — The Melungeon Guy.

In this first video, I’m finally sharing the story of how I discovered I’m Melungeon, and how that journey completely reshaped how I see my identity, my ancestry, and even my health.

For most of my life, I thought I was just a typical “white guy” from North Carolina.
But DNA tests, deeper genealogy research, and real conversations with Melungeon historians told a very different story.

In this video, I talk about:

🌄 My Appalachian roots
🧬 The DNA results that didn’t make sense at first
👁️ Why people always thought I “didn’t look white”
🌍 The mix of ancestry common in Melungeon families
📜 Reaching out to Melungeon historians & getting confirmation
🔥 How this journey even led to my FMF diagnosis
💬 Why identity, ancestry, and hidden heritage matter

I’m still learning.
I’m still figuring out what being Melungeon means.
But this channel is where I’m going to share the whole story — the history, the DNA, the Appalachian migrations, and the personal side of it all.

If you’re exploring your own roots, or you’ve ever felt like there was more to your story…
welcome. You’re not alone.

Subscribe and stick around — this is just the beginning.
