Well goody for you.
My point is that a lot of people who have lived in the southwest USA have bloodlines that go back 12 plus generations. Or in my case as well are indigenous people here in Texas for at least 9000 years. We are not only the descendents of the founders of Texas and New Mexico we are people who are from here since the last ice age. My family has had land granted from Philip V since 1731 in South Central Texas in continuous cattle use at that. Another direct bloodline founded the city of San Antonio, and I have two family names on the wall of the Alamo. They are all related it was a small Spanish colonial community with Native American women takes as brides from time to time or children such as my great grandmother who was one of the last surviving members of her Comanche band.
We are Latin by blood, by culture and we all speak both forms of Spanish the Mexicans rebelled against their sovereign and won thus isolating the colonials who then asked the Anglos for help against the tyrant Santa Anna they won and the border shifted again but make no mistake the bulk of the people still living in South Central Texas are Latinos by blood before even Mexico existed from the peninsula of Iberia and most can still speak the Iberian languages if their families did their job and passed down their oral histories.
Texian’s, Tejanos,and modern Texans are all welcomed in Latin America because we are Latin by blood.
