A quadroon would indicate at least one grandparent of Color, an Octroon would indicate Great-parent of Color...I thought you said it meant 4 or 8 different ethnicities. Many people were mis-classified because census takers used appearances to make the determination....also many mixed race families were passing for White, so may be mislabeled.
