In "Roots of Elvis," you will learn, among many other things, startling new facts about:?Elvis's Cherokee and Jewish ancestry -- fact or fiction??The Presley matriarch who had nine children but never married.?The identity of Elvis's unknown great-grandfather.?The mystery of Gladys Love Presley's middle name.?The secret of Elvis's birthplace.?The genetic mutation that may change Elvis's origin story.
