    She’s tri racial being dominant European and native. 85 percent. She seems to have had a great, great grandfather or mother which is 1/16, 6 percent. She is 7 percent African. Puerto Rico had many african slaves so perhaps She got her African ancestry there.

      @cwm85 She could have gotten the African admixture from when the black African Moors conquered Spain and ruled over them for hundreds of years before slavery.
