Sorry, Emilie.  That was supposed to be a humorous remark about our
diverse genetic make up in Mexico in reference to all the different
haplogroups of Ed's grandparents.

I was just trying to find an equivalent expression to "heinz 57" in
the US, when someone has a mix of several ancestries.  

Capirotada is a typical sweet Mexican dessert made up of a lot of
ingredients, as Joseph remembers.

What say you, Jose Roman?  What do they call it in Mexico?

Victor is in Mexico as much as Jose Roman. Donde vives Victor?

Victor can you put a little capirotada in a jar and send it to me?:

I haven't had capirotada in over 20 years and i absolutely love it. My
mom didn't make it every

Emily,

I think they call it "Mexican"; I am joking and not joking. Seriously, there are no pure 
Spaniards down there anymore unless they emigrated in the last generation. I am told that 
there are some pure Native American Indians though.

Linda,

What mtDNA haplogroup did they assign you? Who provided the specimen?

Your brother has your father's Y-DNA and he has your mtDNA and your mother's mtDNA, 
assuming you have the same parents. The latter assumption sometimes is a huge 
assumption and leads to very interesting discussions.
