How much Mexican was Selena Quantinilla Perez? I know that is a poorly asked question, but what I mean is, were her parents born in Mexico? Her grandparents? And if you know, could you please tell me both her mother and her father. Also, was she a Jevhova's witness, or was it only her parents? Was her husband Chris Perez a Jehova's witness, as well?

All I know is that Selena's father is a mexican/american and Selena's mother is Mexican and Native American. I believe She was also a Jehovah's witness for the simple fact of her being so close to family. I don't think she'd want to stray away from her family's beliefs. Just thoughts.
