    I believe Daveigh also has Italian and German ancestry.

    I’m quite sure her grandparents were Jerry and Viola Schwallier, who got divorced in Nevada in 1977. Jerry remarried in 1990.

    In this scenario:

    Daveigh’s paternal grandfather was Jerry Hart Schwallier (the son of John W. Schwallier, Jr. and Anna Bell Thurman). Jerry was born in Kentucky. Daveigh’s great-grandfather John was born in Kentucky, the son of John Schwallier, Sr., who was born in France, and of Katherine B. Koehler, who was from Alsace, France. Anna was born in Kentucky, the daughter of Henry Clayton Thurman and Cora Angelina Hogg.

    Daveigh’s paternal grandmother was named Viola Annuziata (the daughter of Anna Cangialosi). Anna was born in Italy.
