    German? I’ll give you Italian since Ive seen some PRs and DRs score significant Italian DNA but Germany? How? Realistically the only Euro blood she has is Spaniard.

    She’a probably a Quadroon/Octoroon or Caztiza or less. Predominately euro looking with a slight exotic vibe from her other non European ancestry.

    3/4-7/8 white, 1/4-1/8 other (either native or African or both).

    Spanish-Dominican? does this mean she’s a white Dominican with no non euro mixture to that part of her ancestry?
