We have a similar thing in my family--there's one branch of the family that was more or less chased out of Virginia sometime during Reconstruction, and no one in the family would ever talk about why, just saying that they were a "wild bunch." Like iliftrocks, I'd love to get a DNA test done, so I could finally know for certain. Right now the only evidence we have is a long history of kinky, poofy hair on that side of the family and my grandpa's admission that he wouldn't be surprised if that was in fact the case.
