Accepted Surname and County List:
*NOTE: Having an accepted surname in your tree isn't confirmation or proof, it is important to show their descent from a Melungeon community (or proof of relationship to accepted GLMN family).
This list is subject to expansion. If you are Melungeon and do not see your family name or a qualifying county please contact our historian at midwestlosthistory@gmail.com
