Hijola. . .we're all coming out of the closet. I've already told a
number of the "brothers" and "sisters" at work that I might be their
cousin. I think if a lot more people were made aware of all the
different ethnic bloodlines that run through them maybe this whole
thing of ethnic superiority would not be so prevalent.
I have a question about "Coyote." After getting my
mtDNA that traces my mom's mom's mom's side which I know comes from
Chihuahua, but there are rumors that the line might be from one of the
Atotonilco's in Jalisco. . .well anyway, after finding those results
take me back to Africa as my country of origin, I saw that one of
paternal lines might as well take me back to Africa as my Lugo line out
of Tepetongo was Coyote, Mestizo, and Espanola.
so my question is how did they determine these classifications? was it
that they took a DNA sample and waited for the results before making
the final entries? or was there a discerning Father that would have a
good look at the parents as they came to bring their children to be
baptized and decide via questioning and visual comfirmation?
I found it strange that this same couple would have all 3 designations
given to them. . .didn't seem to be an exact science in determining
what % of each race each had.
thanks,

Actually, for a while, blacks outnumbered Spaniards in Zacatecas
as well because they were being used in the silver mines that dot the
whole state. Did you know that Michoacan had an enormous amount of
Africans there early on as well?
Both my husband (from Michoacan) and myself would bet that we
have African blood running through our veins - primarily because of the
very nappy hair that both sides of the relatives have.
