The Lucasie Family were three, maybe four people, with albinism who were from Europe. P.T. Barnum said they were "white Negroes" from Madagascar (the place one of them was born) and spun a whole tale about them, playing on racist sentiments. It was so over the top, he had to take some of it back when he published his next sensationalist pamphlet about them. They were photographed by Matthew Brady and were the subject of Currier & Ives lithographs. Hard to research.
