If my parents or grandparents were, say of german descent, but i was born in another country, say the DR. I'm a dominican because that where I was born and now raised. After many years of research I find out that good old Grandpa was a Nazi or on the other side( a nobel peace prize winner) in Germany of course. Do I now deny my German Heritage if Grandpapa was the Nazi , and brag about it if he was the Nobel prize winner? Now, lets say I BECOME FAMOUS AT SOMETHING, ANYTHING. What country gets to claim me, Germany or the DR. All sounds pretty stupid, doesn't it. That's what this post about 3 people with possibly some Haitian heritage and their contribution to Dominican society is. Almost every country in the world has people originally from other countries that have contributed greatly to their new country. These are individuals that have made these contributions, not nationalities.
