Herald Tribune: Venice Man Told He's a Descendant of 400 Year Old 'Lost Colony'

Curated by ACT

An interesting article that discusses a possible genetic link between a man named Lawrence Berry who could be a descendant of the lost Roanoke Island colonists. It explains some history of the colony, possible theories about the disappearance of the colonists, and how Berry may be linked. It also talks about an 1866 Winchester rifle that Berry owns which once belonged to a famous bandit named Bill Doolin. (Published October 15, 2012)
