Are you of Spanish heritage?

In my father's lineage I have Spanish blood in me. Some time in the 1800s (or before that perhaps) a group of Germans immigrated to Spain. From there one of them married a woman and moved to the Mexico before the annexation of Texas in 1845. Then after a few years my family learned that they had to assimilate in order to fit in with the accepted WASP culture of the U.S. Otherwise they were treated like dirt. So starting with my grandfather and his siblings they all started to change their names to fit in with the accepted version of "white" at the time. My grandfather then died when my father was around 4 or 5, so none of what little culture had not been stolen from him managed to shape my father's character. After that I was born, and so I'm here, just white, trying to learn a bit about the Spanish language.
It is kind of neat though, having a covert German and Spanish name.
I think I might have some Spanish Sephardic Jew blood in me. . Otherwise I'm gringa through and through.You don't have to be of Spanish hertiage to want to learn language especially with growth of Hispanics in non-Hispanic countries like the U.S. This is a site for learners of all ages and background . Paralee, the teacher on this site isn't even Spanish.
Halfsie, Mex/Noruega But my father doesn't actually speak the language very often in front of me, so I decided to learn it on my own!
