Mexican Irish? How does that work? :unsure:

There was a lot of immigration to Mexico from Ireland and Germany. Moreso from Germany I think. During the Mexican American War, several irish troops defected to Mexico and fought on the Mexican side. They felt they were less discriminated against for being Catholic. :)

They were actually washed up from the fleeing and defeated Spanish Armada.

Haven't you ever heard of the O'choas?

LOL . . . actually there are a lot of "Black Irish" the children of Irish descent born in Spain and Mexico. It's that that Ochoa might actually be a bastardization of O'Shea . . .

interesting....

I wonder if I have any Spanish blood. :)
Often when people have guessed my nationality they guess Italian, this could mean that they simply detect latin blood. No wonder I like salsa dancing. I need to merge salsa with Irish dancing and then I will truly find myself. :D
