Jim,

Will this documentary be shown on tv, perhaps on PBS? I'd like to see it.

Gavin Menzies in his book 1421, mentioned the Melungeons as one of the 
possible groups of people who may have intermarried with the Chinese, if 
they did indeed make it to North America. I am curious if the documentary 
rules that out or just ignores it. It seems to me that if the Chinese came 
up the Carolina-Virginia coast, they couldn't miss the Chesapeake Bay, but 
Menzies says they only explored the Delaware and the Hudson, both of which 
are much smaller.
