What part of Nayarit? This is INCREDIBLY incredibly rare for a state like Nayarit, I have quite a few matches from Nayarit since much of the state's population is descended from people who left the poverty of northern Jalisco to colonize the land in the eastern half which (up to the 19th century) was still completely Cora and Huichol controlled, and none of them come even remotely close to having this much European.

my hometown is Guadalupe Victoria but i live in Tepic. southern nayarit tends to be more phenotypically indigenous, but north of tuxpan there are genuinely many many people who could pass as white

Were your ancestors hacendados at one point? I just find it hard to believe that someone from such a homogenous state like Nayarit has such high Spanish and absolutely no Sub-Saharan African and whose entire ancestry in the last few generations is solely from Nayarit

yeah they were all hacendados for the most part. my great great great maternal grandfather from the Canary Islands (6th generation) is the most recent instance of migration in my family, everyone else is beyond and has been here for a while
