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.
