theculturewarrior Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 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.

BLAZEr Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 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 . . .

Laudate_Dominum Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
