If you are using the DNA ethnicity estimates to assume your grandfather was Spanish and from Taragona, that's a dangerous assumption. DNA ethnicity ESTIMATES are just that - ESTIMATES. They are kinda in the toddler stage of life. My dad, who is 50% Portuguese was classified as a good chunk of French for a very long time. He has 0% French (even on his "American" side). It's evolved; I think he's now classified as 38% Ibeiran now. Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada
