Since my grandfather was  very intelligent, I think it comes from the genes. Maybe one of the scientist/ philosophers was related to us. This has also inspired me to become a CSI and because of science, this career was possible.

I think my ancestors may have been  sailers. My great-great grandfather was about 85% Spanish, so that makes me about 5.31% Spanish. So maybe my great-great grandfather came to Mexico to start a new life. This makes me a mix of races.

Since my parents are really religious and we are catholics, I think we might have been part of the Church. Maybe some of are ancestors were monks, or maybe our ancestors experienced the coming of Jesus, or even maybe they experienced some of God's miracles.

Christianity is the largest religion but many religions emerged from this religion making Catholicism the largest with 1.3 billion followers.
