What is my heritage? My last name is Soto can anybosy tell me?

Answer 1

Indian

Answer 2

Soto sounds like a Spanish last name. What is your ethnicity or race? What has your older family members said you last name might be? There's a possiblity that the last name used to be De Soto and the "De" or "The" was taken off during the generations.

Answer 3

The reality is that your name alone will not tell you your heritage. Your family name comes from your Father (normally). However, what about your mother's heritage? This can be complicated, depending on where your family is from because many family names were changed in the immigration process. For example, people who immigrated and came through Ellis Island often had their names somewhat Americanized when entering.

Talk to your parents and do some research. You can check birth certificates and other documents to create a family tree. You might also learn some cool facts about your ancestors.

Answer 4

Answer 5

That may well be that De Sotos are Mexican, but the Soto family are from Spain.
