Include Canary Islander and Cantabrian as parts of her Spanish ancestry, as well as Basque, Galician, and distant African as parts of her Mexican ancestry.
Hi, Andrea Meza is a cousin of mine. She is indeed 1/16th Chinese through her great-grandfather, Pedro Chao. He was half-Chinese and was my grandfather. My mother is her grandmother’s half-sister.
Can you post her genealogy on that side? If you know it.
I think I found her paternal grandmother. See one of the comments here:
It says that she is the granddaughter of Lety.
I therefore confirmed that Andrea’s paternal grandmother is Leticia Margarita “Lety” Chao Quintanilla (the daughter of Pedro Antonio Chao Gómez and Elvira Quintanilla Pérez). Leticia was born in Chihuahua, Chihuahua. Pedro was the son of a Chinese emigrant, Pedro Chao, of Canton (now Guangzhou), Guangdong, and of Emma Gómez Reza. Elvira was the daughter of Antonio Quintanilla Rodríguez and María del Rayo Pérez Rascón.

I’ll look deeper into Lety’s ancestry later.
I just looked into Lety’s ancestry, and it’s the same.
Her Wikipedia page says she has Chinese ancestry
Manila, Chao is Galician, not Chinese. Mind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ram%C3%B3n_Chaor
*Ramón Chao
Not really. Chao could be Chinese, aside from Portuguese and Galician.
