I' mix, not very dark,, but i'm not white at all. Although my father is really like white and his father was too, his brothers are not white they are moreno, although sisters are a bit light skin. It's so confusing.. I'm not white like my father because my mother is darker. So anyways, I know many mexicans are mixed , Im mixed . Father from Jalisco are, mother from Durango area. Is it possible to know if you had anything to do with Mayas, or Aztecs, or which tribe. .. and also, how would you find which Spaniard was in your family Mix.. or if you have some distant relatives in spain. it's interesting, i just thought about this question.

You have to go by what info you know about your past. Do you know what part of Mexico your family originates from? See what traditions in your family may resemble the indiginous ones.
Its really difficult to tell. Mine is just as hard b/c my family grew up here in New Mexico which was once Mexico.
Its also possible your family didn't carry on Indiginous traditions b/c they were ashamed. Remember how they were persecuted for being dark and now many Hispanics claim they are full blood Spaniards.
Don't discard the fact that we have African blood too.

Church registers would be the best source, I'd think. Try to find out, where the earliest known ancestors lived and get in contact with the church there - if possible in Spanish...

They were both distinct and separate cultures.
Mayan and Aztec did not mix.

well it really depends on where the exact place you are from in Mexico. if ur from campeche ur Aztec and a bit Inca. if ur from down south in mx then ur in an ancestor tribe

We all descended from two people. Adam & Eve. The apperance of colored skin doesn't determine culture.
