    His Hungarian ancestors are surely ethnic Germans, judging by their surnames.

    Emily House’s parents are Charles House and Elizabeth Marie Brown, both of whom were born in England. Dolph doesn’t seem to have any Colonial American ancestry at all.

    Also has Italian ancestry. His brother Ryan once stated in an interview that “a lot of their family was Italian.”
