The Ancestry DNA test told me that our Mexican lineage could be traced back to Spain, so I decided to read the Mexican baptism and marriage records until I found the connection.

And her father was Alejo García Conde born 1751 in Cueta, Spain (across the Gibraltar!) and his family was from Barcelona. He was a political...
