Federico Acosta, a Mexican who traces his lineage back 16 generations back to Moctezuma's daughter, left, embraces Italian Ascanio Pignatelli also of the 16th generation descended from Hernan Cortes' daughter, during a press conference in Mexico City, Friday, Nov. 8, 2019. Descendants of the Spanish conquistador and the Aztec emperor are meeting in Mexico City to mark the 500th anniversary of their forbearers' first encounter. The hope was that this meeting, at a colonial church where Cortes is buried, would go better than the one 500 years ago. (AP Photo/Eduardo Verdugo)
