Looks Turkish to me.
90% Spaniard. His broad head shape at the top made me think he could have something other than Spanish but obviously the rest of his facial features are Southern European.
I bet he is 10% Amerindian.
It’s possible. Salma Hayek has Lebanese ancestry. Maybe there are no records because of the lack of records kept during the 1700s.
are you telling me he is not white??
He looks more Spanish-influenced.
