This is too coincidental.
My partner's ancestors came from Sitges (in fact, one of them was the mayor of the town), back in 1820s or 1830s - to Argentina, and from there to Montevideo, Uruguay. Among the various marriages in the generations, there's a Scottish clan, and English ancestry intermixed with Spaniards. She can trace her roots back to some of the founding members and prominent political families there.
The last time we were in Scotland, we found the clan she's from - but couldn't ascertain the ship they took to Argentina :-/ That's left as an exercise for some future trips.
