Scholarship time! Say you're from Pocahontas' tribe and get federal aid. They all look white. Pocahontas' tribe, the Pamunkey of Virginia, finally recognized by U.S. Hell, if it gets me free stuff like schooling, I'll pretend to belong to any race, ethnicity, tribe, religion, tribe, etc.

I should say since 2 of my great grandmothers were born in Chile that I am South American.

There you go! There are loads of scholarships and grants for Hispanics. I should know, I got a full ride to a private university due to that.

I won't mention that they're actually Sicilian and left Chile at a young age.

Like my father's great grandfather (the one with our surname) being born in Greece, but for some odd reason, winding up in Mexico. Had he stayed there, I could have been Greek. Oh, well. Greeks think I'm Greek anyway.

Was his family Greek too or did his family travel from Mexico to Greece and then returned to Mexico?
Because my great grandmothers' parents were Sicilian, went to Chile for work, and then returned to Sicily. Greece is such a beautiful country. I want to go back next year but the financial unrest makes me scared. __________________

No, they weren't from Mexico. I'm guessing they came from Spain given our Spanish title of a surname, landed in Greece for a bit, then settled (why?!) in Mexico.

Funny if they were fleeing from the law.

do you really think you have criminals in your family tree?

I wouldn't be surprised! My last name is a title of high rank, so who knows if there was some political/government scandal that they got caught up in and fled Spain.

I don't know if people on the run were counted in local Censuses.
