Very easy to see! Your Grandmother definitely is typical of the area and your Grandfather also isn't atypical of his. :)

I think your grandmother could pass as Greek, and your grandfather as a Cypriot in addition to both being southern Italian.

You said the same about me. Maybe I got my greek vibe from her?

My father went back as far 1796. My ancestors were in Calabria and Basilicata at that time. We do not know much before that.

Dinaro-med for your grandpa and alpine+dinarid for your grandma. They really do look Italian, I would have guessed.

From the Deep South, then.

Did they migrated to Cuba or to the US?
