Question

I have a Spanish ancestor who was from the 1500s, would I have some Spanish in me? I know it would not be alot if I do, can I say I'm part Spanish?

Answer 1

possibly. but just a smidge.

Answer 2

I think you have asked this question previously.  You aren't going to get any different answers except from the trolls.

Trying to figure out percentages of your ancestry is useless.   It will always change as you go back.   All your ancestors are part of your autosomal DNA.  

The thing about it if you have a grandfather from Germany, he might have had ancestors from Spain many centuries before that you haven't come across or will never come across because there are no records available.  So you will never know what percentages of Spanish or anything else you have in you.

Answer 3

half Spanish my ***......more like 2 percent.

Answer 4

well, of course.  How much of your chart back to the 1500's have you put together?  Naturally, you know, if he or she was the only person from Spain on your chart, your fractional Spanish lineage is probably less than 1 part in several thousand.

Answer 5

yes u do hav a tiny bit of spanish in you, but not much...and yea i guess you can say you have a tiny bit of spanish in you
