Re: [ranchos] Coyote

 
I do believe that is true, but I've noticed that in certain branches of my family where the people are tall and fair, the genealogy does indeed identify the ancestors as mostly Spanish.  My maternal grandfather was short, and sure enough he traced back to an Indian.  I'm not sure I'd totally disregard the classifications.  Have others noticed similar patterns?

Note:
A couple of years ago I was told by a genealogist from
SHARR, not to pay much attention to Mexican birth
records whenever race was noted. Such birth record
notes (race) were just part of the racism that existed
at that time, and had no meaning to the make up of the
person.

I doubt if any one us can say what our ethnic make up
is, I know I cannot.

We are just good people!
