Alberto,
I have heard of the Hispanic or Latino heritage of Rita Hayworth (Rita
Cansino), Anthony Quinn (my father-in-law knew him in El Paso-Juarez in the
1920's as well as Gilbert Roland), but Walt Disney? I heard from someone
in my Reveles line whose father worked at MGM in the 1920s-1940s and knew all
these people, that Walt Disney was a Spaniard of Sephardic Jewish heritage, but
that guy turned out not to be reliable. He claims to be a Sephardic
Jew. I found out later that the Reveles' in Los Angeles are all buried in
the Catholic cemetery, including this guy's father. Where did you
hear about Walt Disney? I have never heard of a reliable source for that
information.

Regarding Tomas Alva Edison...
A couple of years ago, I
had a number of people from
Zacatecas tell me that Tomas Edison was
originally
from Zacatecas. Hard to believe it, but possible.
And
why not, Walt Disney was of latino parents. So was
Rita Hayward, Anthony
Quinn, George Bush Jr., Governor
Richardson from New Mexico, the last major
league
baseball player to hit over .400 (William's I
believe), Linda
Ronstadt, and many others that I
cannot remember. And I sure there
will many more
within our life time.
Hey, don't forget we come from
great stock.
