    Catalan should be within the Spanish brackets, Catalans are Iberians and have been in the peninsula as long as any other ethnicity besides the Basques, they’re not a separate nation either so i don’t see the point on listing them as separate from Spanish other than politically driven misinformation

    She is also 1/64 Serbian through Ekatarina Perisic from Novi Sad and 1/64 Aromanian through her husband Gheorghie Konstantin Georgevici de Apadia
    (his family is cited as “Macedo-Roman” here: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9a/Vasile_Alexandrescu_Urechia_-_Albumul_Macedo-Rom%C3%A2n.pdf#page=117&zoom=auto,-100,763)

    The other 1/32 is unlikely “Austrian”. The von Rosenzweig hailed from Weißkirchen, Moravia, and they seem Jewish to me.

      Catalan is away from Spanish.

      • Anto says:

        no it isn’t, get lost with your political agenda, you’re the same dude who made all of those profiles of the Catalan independentist figures listing Catalan as separate from Spanish in their ethnicities, how are you even allowed to spread misinformation here?
        Catalans are not a separate ethnic group, they are Iberians, cope harder indepe.
