It's great to have pride,however most of you have it twisted,and do not pay homage to your true hertiage because you've been brainwashed into thinking that you are something that you are not!!

Well if the Dominican Institute of Genealogy is not a good enough source for you than may I suggest the fairy tail land of wikipedia? I doubt very much that you are in a better position to ascertain the geneaology of Dominican heads of state than individuals who dedicate their lives to such work. As for for Dominican heads of state of white haitian descent indeed there is such an individual, Nouel, but I did not mention him as I already knew that you were alluding to persons of african descent. Trujillo's black haitian background is common knowledge among anyone who knows at least a little something about Dominican history. The Cambridge History of Latin America states that Trujillo "came from a lower class family of mixed Spanish, Creole, and HAITIAN BLOOD"(emphasis added). Chirot's Modern Tyrants:The Power and Prevalance of Evil in Our Age states about Trujillo that his "grandmother was the illegitmate daughter of a Haitian officer and a Haitian woman who had lived in the Dominican Republic during the Haitian occupation. There was nothing unusual or disgraceful about this heritage, but it bothered Trujillo, particularly the fact that he was PART BLACK AND HAITIAN"(emphasis added). The fact that you are unaware of said fact speaks volumes as to your lack of information concerning Dominican history and the individuals in said history. That Balaguer is descended from black Haitians from his mother's side and is related to Heureaux is an indisputable fact. His mother was the daughter of one Rosa Amelia Heureaux, who's father happens to be the brother of Lilis' father, making Balaguer's grandmother and Lilis first cousins. We all know that Heureaux's father was a black Haitian emigre, that's also common knowledge and any portrait of Lilis will bare witness to the fact that very little, if any, white blood flowed through his veins, but according to your hypothesis his brother was a "french white". Yea right. There's plenty of documentation of this fact if you choose to look for it even if Mr. Balaguer was careful to conceal it (not once did he mention his mother's maternal surname in his Memorias de Un Cortesano, which is indeed Heureaux, even though it is typical in DR for most individuals to go by their paternal and maternal surnames). Unless you can provide documentation that disproves what I have just stated then you have nothing.

Gizmo Rafael Leonidas Trujillo was born in the Dominican Republic not Haiti. So that makes him Dominican. His mother and father were not Haitian either that practically seals his gene pool. As for his grandmother is concerned i never seen a picture clear enough to establish her origins wether French white or mulatto, mixed or pure black like 97% of Haitians. I don't know why you have such an obsession with this genealogy website. I went through it, and guess what it don't classify people by a particular racial group, it just give you there supposed lineage. At the end of the day, Trujillo did the right thing. Killing these lawless people named 'HAITIANS' in 1937. A people that single handedly destroyed the ecology of there own country, because the country since it's bloody birth gave rise to evil dictators, that enslaved there own people to enrich themselves. The worst enemy of Haitians are Haitians themselves, and the enemies of Dominicans are my enemies for life..... Wait a minute aint that the motto of every ex-haitian emperor, general, president "Governor For Life" TRUST ME I DID NOT MEAN IT THAT WAY! .....

As Trujillo's maternal grandmother came in with invading Haitian forces, and not running from them, I would not gamble she was part of whatever white French remnant remained in Haiti at that stage in the 1800s. Nonetheless I've also noticed that wherever she is mentioned comments on her heritage/color are conspicuous by their absence. Whatever heritage she was she is reported to have been a very industrious woman, a hotelier, a stand out especially in an age when female merchants were far from the norm. I have seen these facts about her cited in numerous books so anyone arguing the contrary will have to point me to some titles.

BTW on his paternal side Trujillo descended from a Spanish Army sergeant who arrived in 1860 and departed with Spanish forces to Cuba in the late 1860s. This one I have only come across in a book by Juan Bosch so far. If that is accurate as Bosch points out then Trujillo, although certainly as Dominican as any of us, was the genetic product of two military invasions...and his career the product of a third.
