I know his grandmother was Puerto Rican but where is the proof that he is Scottish? I thought “McCreery” was an Irish name
It says he’s Puerto Rican, Irish, Scottish, English.
Yes but yesterday when I asked that question it only said Puerto Rican and Scottish.
If he has Western Scottish ancestry, then his surname is likley ulster Irish settlers.
