Interesting how similar her ancestry is to these guys:

Quarter Sicilian, 1/8th French/Cajun, 1/16th Jewish, and part German. What sticks out the most would be the Duplass brothers’ apparent Louisiana Creole ancestry.
Louisiana Creole?
Yes, their great-grandfather was likely a Creole.
Does Follers know that?
Follers was the first to entertain the idea.
Basically, their great-grandfather is white when on censuses with his wife, and is there the son of European (French or French/Spanish) parents. But the only people who fits his name, birth place, birth year etc. before the 1920 census are two black people. So who knows, one of them might be their great-grandfather.
Could anyone find out if her great-great-grandmother Mercedes was also Jewish? She was born 29 September 1908 in Louisiana and died 26 July 1992.
Since we talked about Native American ancestors, I casually found one in Wikitree on her maternal grandmother’s side. As usual it’s disputed/uncertain. This would make her 1/8192 Native American.

Lol, the mental gymnastics in trying to prove she was Native is hillarious.
Ok, so Hannah was illegitimate (even this is dubious, she might have been James’ niece), but how does ”she was willed a black servant, so she couldn’t possibly be half-black, she had to have been half-Native” make any sense? And this sentence ”he had a disposition toward Native Americans”.
This is what I’m talking about when I say that people are making up Native ancestors.
There is also a discussion in Ancestry Message Boards, and other stuff from other sites. The point is that there’s a lackness of official documents to verify if it’s a myth or not.
Before you make comment about a Native ancestor that you’ve found, make sure to look into it more. For one thing, 1/8192 isn’t even worth mentioning even if it was true. But why didn’t it seem weird to you that only the WikiTree says that Jonathan Osborne was born in England, to an American mother, when all other trees says his parents were both English? And despite that, this is a textbook example of what I was talking about when it comes to made up Native American family stories. The circumstantial evidence provided in that discussion seems very far-fetched, like it really wants it all to be true. On the Native ancestor’s WikiTree page it says “There are no existing records that prove this family tradition”.
It’s just a trivia, relax. We already made an agreement about the 1/1024 thing (with exceptions), and that’s it.
It’s just plausible to consider that a few white men made children with Native American women, even though it’s difficult to prove it.
I would only mention this kind of ancestry if:
1. The ancestor is well-known or widely believed to be real.
2. There’s enough evidence to at least make it somewhat believable that the ancestor was Native.
3. The celebrity has mentioned the ancestor themself, or has mentioned being part Native.
Adding to that, I would not add it if it’s a vanishingly small amount or, given that the ancestor actually existed, it’s not certain that the person is actually their descendant.
*Mercedes Spansel
Daughter of Michael Spansel and Mary Elizabeth Spellman.
I have no idea what thes were exactly (German maybe), but looks like they were Catholic.

What made you conclude that? I’ve seen many birth records of potential Mercedeses in Louisiana, but no one at the exact right date.
That family was German and Irish, it seems.
A tree on ancestry.com. Her middle initail also appears as S in some cases.
Also the indexing is wrong for that record. It says she’s 11, and there’s a smudge next to 11 and the indexer saw that as 16.
Lena was born in either Sicily, Italy, or Texas, the daughter of Giuseppe/Joseph Stratta/Strada and Angelina/Angie Loria, who were from Poggioreale, Province of Trapani, Sicily, Italy.

The vast majority of that was already included in the text.
Yes, but it’s easier to copy and paste it for the editors.
