The information on Walt Disney I got from a magazine
that I once subscribed to called "Hispanic".  But I
never did check out their source.  

Also, the baseball player's name was Ted Williams.

Regarding Tomas Alva Edison...
A couple of years ago, I had a number of people from
Zacatecas tell me that Tomas Edison was originally
from Zacatecas.  Hard to believe it, but possible. 
And why not, Walt Disney was of latino parents. So was
Rita Hayward, Anthony Quinn, George Bush Jr., Governor
Richardson from New Mexico, the last major league
baseball player to hit over .400 (William's I
believe), Linda Ronstadt, and many others that I
cannot remember.  And I sure there will many more
within our life time.

Hey, don't forget we come from great stock.
