Med: Mediterranean? In other words Spanish or similar?

Yes indeed. The eyes might be Semitic influenced.

This is the uncle of that woman whose eyes everyone said were really Semitic.

I always assumed it was Native American genes because that ancestor was only a few generations removed (1700 to 1860ish?) while the potential Semitic blood was from the time of the inquisition (1500s or so). Do you think it could have remained that strong? In his war records he was described as swarthy which is odd for an English settler (I suppose even with some native blood).

Honestly, it's difficult to tell because the picture isn't very good.

See my post above - there's a link to a better one.
