How or am I of spanish descent? - Carlee - 12-09-2012 02:07 PM

My nationalities are Hungarian, Romanian, Croation, Irish, German, and Slovak. I know it's a lot but it's true. I've always wondered if somehow i have some spanish in me because I looked up my last name which is Rogel and it said it is spanish. I get a lot of msgs on facebook from places like spain, mexico, and hispanic countries in south america with people with my last name asking if we are related but I never know what to say because I'm not sure of my ancestry. My parents split when i was 2 so every time i went to my dads house, he would teach us spanish, we would listen to spanish music, and he would teach us of different hispanic cultures. Also, i have very dark skin and brown eyes and brown hair but it isn't black or very dark. I get asked a lot or get mistaken for a mexican or puerto rican. I've asked my dad about this but he hasn't given me the right answer. If you can answer this, thank you. <3

Given that your father taught you spanish and listened to spanish music and that you have a hispanic sounding last name...you are probably hispanic in some way, your father may just be hiding your backround from you... you should ask him again or ask your mom or grandparents

No you are Latin cause your mixed with Romanian and the Slovak probably gave you your dark features,

Your not a Latino, a Latino is someone from Latin America, a Hispanic is someone from a Spanish speaking country, you are not either of these things.

Your dad likes Spanish culture, our culture is great alot of people like it. If you also like our culture nothing wrong with embracing it!

It could be possible,consult a genealogist

There a very slim chance.
Irish people are descendants of Spaniards, but that was a long time ago.
It's strange that you're mainly Germanic/Slavic, but describe yourself as being dark skinned... Perhaps you should look into getting a DNA test.
