Mexico did not only have Andalusian immigrants (although the vast majority came from there), the next big Spanish population was coming from Extremadura, also from Valencia (majority coming from an area called Alicante), then from Castile-La Mancha or Castile y Leon (I always mix those two up but its one of those either way, those two regions became the second Spanish region to make it to Mexico), then it was the Basques and Navarros and lastly the other Northern Spaniards who were majority business people, rich and wealthy. Most of the wealthy criollo families of Mexico have majority their roots in Northern Spain because they descendant from those wealthy Northern Spanish families that made their way into Mexico. And yes, majority of them came with their families. While almost all of the Southern Spanish population in Mexico were peasants and low class people, Central Spanish people were a mix bag, some were poor while others were wealthy
I think majority of the wealthy Spaniards in Latin America will have Northern Spanish roots for the most part because many were wealthy people who decided to expand their wealthy in Latin America, that is why its not uncommon to find rich Latin American families with Northern Spanish surnames and shit like that
I read this on the Spanish immigration to Mexico and Latin America
