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.
