I am not quite sure what your question is,
If you want to know your heritage, you will have to do the research!.

You could have some Spanish heritage, but all of your ggg grandmothers and grandfathers also have a bearing on your ethnic background!.

I don't understand your question either!. What is 4fm!?
Spanish and Puerto Rican are not the same thing!. They each have their own cultures!. There are commonalities in ancient history for each culture, but they are not the same thing!. Like Denmark and Germany have some commonalities in historic beginnings, but certainly not even close to being the same thing now!.
I think maybe you are trying for the word hispanic!? Hispanic is probably the only word that could tie these two completely different cultures together!.
Clearly you need to focus your question better, this one isn't worded very well!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

for starters!.!. you have 4 grandparents, all of whom can come from different countries!. Now, take that back!.!. 8 gr grandparents, 16 gr gr !.!.!. you are very seldom just "one" ancestry!.
YOUR ancestry is your ancestors, and not necessarily the relatives!.
PR, by the way, is a country with settlement from Spain (and probably other locations)!. so!.!.!. it can easily be both (not either/or)!.

Here is the only way to know!.!. identify YOUR lineage (ancestry) and determine from records, exactly where they were born/ died!. No one here can tell you that!.!. we don't have your records!.
