      That’s his maternal uncle Francisco Pizarro Medina’s DNA, not his.

      María Medina González was the daughter of Francisco Medina González and María Muñiz Martínez. Alejandro’s great-grandmother María was the daughter of Manuel María de los Santos del Corazón de Jesús Muñiz Toledo and María Martínez Valverde.
