I've never read anything mentioning this, but my father-in-law (who does read a lot about different things and he knows a lot about things) told me that Walt was of Spaniard descent. Is this true or was he misinformed? Thanks.
I believe that there was an untrue rumor back in 40's that Walt had been born in Spain and that Elias & Flora adopted him from a worker. Maybe that is what he was remembering
Not true-like the other poster said it was a rumor long time ago.
Disney family came from France-name D'Isigny.Then they moved to England.Shortly after that a branch of the Disney family moved to Ireland.From there they moved Canada then Elias Disney moved to Chicago where walt was born.
