I also noticed on other postings that you were confused by your ethnicity
because the records have alternately "Mexican" or "White". At the turn
of the century, Mexicans were originally classified as "White". Add to
this the fact that the people in the area you mentioned, Momax, are very
light-skinned with colored eyes, so the confusion is understandable.
