Question:

My mother and I are having a debate about my heritage.?

My paternal grandmother is half Jamaican. Her father was Portuguese and her mother Jamaican. So what percentage of me is Jamaican? My mother says I'm 1/4 Jamaican and 1/8 Portuguese. I think I'm 1/8 Jamaican at best. A friend told me I was 1/16 Jamaican. Who's correct?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: 1/8 Jamaican is correct unless your mother also has Jamaican blood.
