Roanoke: The lost colony

In some classes I had mentioned the lost colony of Roanoke.  If you are interested in finding out more information, click here http://www.powerset.com/explore/semhtml/Lost_Colony_DNA_Project?query=Lost+Colony+DNA+Project for the link to the article about the DNA project that is trying to see if the citizens survived or not.  Another interesting article I found that talks about Jamestown and Roanoke is from PBS.  I mentioned today in class about the disappearance of the settlement Roanoke and how historians still do not what happened to the people of the first colony.  Of course there theories aplenty out there.  What I like about this article is the fact that it discusses realistic ideas as to the disappearance of the settlers.  Read on to find out what I mean: http://www.pbs.org/saf/1203/features/climatology.htm

What do you think happened to these people?
