My dad's family has a strange myth about a "Spanish" noble, but the actual history of Bermuda and of the family name says otherwise: we're descendents of an English family's slaves and freedmen, some of whom likely raised children fathered by said English family. It would be interesting to maybe end the Spanish vs. English argument. My husband's family may also have Sephardic Jewish ancestry - it's an unproven family rumor that would also be interesting to figure out. But then again, it wouldn't change anyone's current faith or culture. It would just help fill in the gaps.
