Most versions I have heard of this refer to Tangiers Island, which is off of Virginia not the Carolinas, I have heard references to the Carolinas and even the Ozarks! Tangiers is still accessible only by ferry. Of course none of the various places in America I have heard touted as having a surviving 16th century accent were in fact settled in that period!

My mom is frequently asked if she is from New York, but she is a native San Franciscan. The accent is similar, apparently. -----Original Message----- ndra.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rickard, Patty Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2008 9:10 AM To: Historical Costume Subject: Re: [h-cost] [ h-cost]Making history hip [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
