Do you have Spaniard or Hispanic heritage?

 

[citruscurtis]

Yes...my niece was at one time the furthest west living Hispanic in the US... little Diomede

I do not... just looked at Anscestry.com again b/c sometimes that stuff does change w/updates.

 

[E&Cmom]

50% My mom was from Spain.

No. Just a bunch of Scottish, French, and German royalty/nobility.

Have you tried familysearch.org? They're like Ancestry, but they've already done all the research. You just need to provide the closest deceased relative on each branch, and it auto-populates your whole tree.

Maybe…we always considered my mom’s family to be 100% Italian - however - her father (my grandfather) was actually born in Argentina (from parents that were born in Italy)….truthfully, I’m not sure if that qualifies or not.

I checked it out a few years ago, I need to re-visit that. Thank you for the reminder on that one, it was really interesting.

Oh yea, I logged back in there.... seems as if my DNA tree picked up where my family search tree dead-ended. My "dna confirmed" great great grandparents were a bit of a scandal.

Cajun, about 1/8 on my father's side. Otherwise, English, Irish, Scottish.

Does Portugese count?

Geographical influenced geneology says no. Spain and Portugal share Iberian ancestry but Portugul has a strong Celtic/Germanic/Moorish influence.
Latino is a term created by the US government in the 70s and 80s to determine who gets carve outs. Different agencies have included Portuguese descended peoples off and on since then. But they don't really have anything in common with other Latin American nations. Differences beyond language.
