The only thing that anyone is sure of is that the character of Gomez was Spanish in the early movies, but with the Burton Wednesday, probably Mexican because of the reference to Dia de los Muertos. The Spanish do not celebrate it. It's a Mexican observance. Jennifer Ortega is Puerto Rican and Mexican.

I will concede that Morticia is not Spanish, but not convinced her originations are from Salem. Maybe Tim Burton can give further clarity in the character in the on-going seasons.
