For me... My grandfather came from Trinidad & Tobago, and I believe he was Afro-Antillian; but he could have had some English or Indian mix, who knows. He married my grandmother, a mestizo between supossedly Chibcha and Spanish bloods, with probably more indian than white. So my father came from that blend. My mother is mestizo also, Spanish and some indian, but I don't think Chibcha. Anyhow she should have more European blood than my father's mother. So I am 1/4 Afro-Antillian and 3/4 Mainstream Colombian: which means uncertain blend between Europeans and Native-Americans. My wife is also mainstream Colombian. This is as far as I can get. -- Carlos Th
