This website is to display the results of our research in support of attaining our goal which is to discover, if possible, whether any of the Roanoke Lost Colonists survived. Furthermore, others included on Raleigh's numerous voyages were also "lost" on the shores of what would become North Carolina. Perhaps they survived as well. The resources being used to solve this mystery are a combination of historical records, genealogy and DNA.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our MissionOur Mission....Is to gather as much data as possible to prove that at least some of the colonists did in fact survive as has been suggested by numerous
historical accounts, possibly having assimilated into the indigenous tribes with them. If the colonists were enslaved, they could have been sold or traded and not remained as a group, being scattered to various locations. individuals who are likely candidates to be descendants of the Lost Colonists. We have assembled names of interest that are compiled from the Lost Colony settlers and also from the early families found in the areas where the colonists are believed to have settled. Early land transactions and grants reference individuals with
many of these last names as Indians.
