I found this to be quite interesting.

They are trying to prove that the lost colonists had in fact assimilated with the Croatan, who, according to Lumbee tradition, later became part of the Lumbee tribe.

Anyone with Lumbee blood and a surname similiar to those of the colonists. From what I understand, I would think it would have to be a male who can trace his family in a direct line through the male side of each generation back to this time and place.

Here is the list of the lost colonists:
