You are correct. Plus it is believed that Mayans migrated to NC by some historians today based on similar data. Also we tend to think coloring of hair and skin determines locations. Not true. Borders of countries inter married so France, for instance had people with light and dark skin, black and blue eyes, not counting raiders, Romans, etc. Plus ship wrecks had men jump ship or floated to areas. It is now believed that other countrymen were in America before Columbus. Watch National Geograpy see the possibilities. Real histories.

All Mexicans did not come from Spain. When the Spanish came over to South and Central America, they were met by 'Indians' just like in North America. There are people in both South and Central America that are of Spanish ancestry, some of other European ancestries, some are of Indian ancestry and some a mixture of all. Their DNA might reflect this. It is a common mistake to generalize and think that all Mexicans are of Spanish ancestry. If you look at them you can see the differences and easily pick out the ones that are more of the Indian ancestry. These are mostly shorter, darker and have dark eyes and hair. There will be exceptions due to mixtures. My mother's aunt married a Mexican of Spanish ancestry and their sons were white and tall. The grandchildren are white, light haired and blue eyed. She was from Puerto Rico. My father is American and my mother is from Puerto Rico of Spanish ancestry. Yet the mtDNA on her Puertorican father is A2 considered Amerindian or from the Taino Indians of the Carribean. His YDNA is R1b1b2 considered very European. We had no idea there was Indian blood in the family. This Spanish ancestry has a lot of blond, blue eyed people. This also should answer your comment about the NA DNA not showing if you have Spanish or Portuguese DNA. My grandfather had both. I do not mean to cause a problem but I just wanted to clarify this generalization.
