This is from a link that I found in the Houston Chronicle, dated 6/14/07. I have looked at the names , and none match the names of my ancestors. Still, I continue to be amazed at what DNA research is bringing us. The Lost Colony Center for Science and Research is using primary sources, archaeology, oral histories and satellite technology to uncover the fate of the first English settlers. That path has led to present-day descendants. The Research Center is discovering some of the newest and most interesting findings of what happened to the Lost Colonists of 1587? Begun as The Croatan Group in 1993 with the finding of the capital town of the Croatan Indians, the grass-roots effort raises money for education, archaeology, and scientific research. Instructors, researchers, technicians, and friends have partnered together to unearth the migration of the Lost Colony. A multidisciplinary approach using geography, geology, history, biology, anthropology, and oceanography has been applied to investigate the clues that are still left behind. Prepared with an abundance of findings, the Center is poised for the next stage of discoveries ~ DNA evidence of possible living descendants, and archaeological findings of a presumed relocated English fort. The Center’s mission is to be self-funding to ensure this research continues well into the third millennium.
