she had 2 grandparents of Spanish descent (and Alsatian ancestry too down the line), so Leven definitely has more than 1/32 Spanish ancestry
Leven is likely related to this man: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Gil_Y%27Barbo
I think her Alsatian ancestors were ethnic Germans: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Lambre-15
