The Lumbee Tribe DNA Study
For historians and social scientists, the use of DNA testing makes possible a paradigm shift in the
Kuhnian sense of the term. The genetic origins of monarchs, conquerors, explorers, peoples and
populations of both the present and past can now be ascertained, if viable DNA samples are available.66
In the case of the Roanoke Colonists and the Croatoan people, this study proposes there is such a
sample. The Lumbee Native American Tribe of Robeson County, North Carolina traces its ancestry to
the Croatoan Indians of Hatteras.67 Furthermore, the Lumbee claim to have absorbeda portion of the
Roanoke Colonists in 1588;68 current tribal members carry thirty-four of the original surnames of the
colonists (as is shown in Table 3).69 In addition, the Lumbee carry names of Sephardic Jewish origin,
(see Table 4), as well as surnames of Croatian origin (demonstrated in Table 5).70

Central to this paper’s thesis is that DNA testing of the 2,724 Lumbee tribal memberswill indicate the presence of
1) Sephardic Jewish male haplotypes,
2) Sephardic Jewish female haplotypes, and
3) male Croatian haplotypes.
The Lumbee began their program of DNA testing in 2004 and it has continued to the present. Their website
is publicly available online at FamilyTreeDNA/LumbeeProject. All DNA test results given in the Project are for
registered tribal members.

In New Mexico and Southern Texas, the residents of counties and towns recently have learned that
not only were their ancestors Spanish, they were also Sephardic Jews.81 The present research has
shown that a similar community likely existed on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Furthermore, this
community contained a variety of nationalities and ethnicities. The DNA of the Croatoan/ Lumbee tribe
not only retains its Native American origins, as well as the genes of Africans brought to the New World
[ ], it also carries the genetic record of male and female Sephardic Jews. This same tribe also
served as the lonely New World outpost for a group of male and female Balkan, and likely also Muslim
settlers, who arrived on the shores of North Carolina prior to the first British efforts at colonization.
