Birth Name:
Elvis Aaron Presley
Birth Place:
Tupelo, Mississippi, USA

German, Scottish, French, Scots-Irish and Cherokee Indian
The Legendary rock n roll singer’s ancestry has been researched by many. It is said that the Presley name originated from Scotland when a man named Andrew Presley moved to America in the 1700s. In addition to this, German, French, (on his mothers side) and Cherokee also make up his heritage.
His great-great-great grandmother was said to be a full blooded Cherokee. A site listed below states that his maternal great grandmother was said to be a Jewish woman.

Celebrities sharing the same heritage:
Everyone and there dog is Cherokee these days. It’s kind of a joke in my area. No offense.
I red he is also part Jewish.
ALL whites, especially racist whites should RUN to the nearest DNA test. You will be surprised. lol DNA testing should be a must for kkk membership, ect. Well, folks, that would be the end of the kkk.
I knew he had some type of “brown pride” in his bloodline because he looks different from how the typical white person looks like Johnny Depp does too. Don’t know if Elvis was racist, I remember a black lady told me that he was when I was really young but O well I guess I never really cared what people say anyway, I still thought he was great. Now Hitler was a straight hater. He’s somebody who I will never admire for any reason in the world. & I don’t think Kanye West is racist, he just doesn’t like RACIST white people (who would?), he’s not talking about ALL white people. He comes from a place where a lot of racism still exist, what do u expect? Black people come in all shades but being that he has a little bit darker complexion he gets treated worst in society & that’s fucked up & since he’s an outspoken person he’s going to express his feelings about those issues for all the same reasons Huey P Newton, Malcom X, Martin Luther King & other black leaders who weren’t scared & stood up & spoke about. They all just did it in a different ways.
He and Oprah have an ancestor in common. This was on TV. Fact.
Elvis Presley had Scots-Irish blood.

The Mansell’s were Scots-Irish. You have excluded this.
To Tony

Jamie foxx was not racist he had plenty of white people on his show and even dated white people and plus his wife is mixed you idiot
You will have to forgive me…I love reading and now and again I find something that I think is really good and I like to share it with everyone else…by the way…does anyone mind explaining to me what this whole rating thing is all about
Baylis, F., 2003: Black as Me: Narrative Identity, Developing World Bioethics, 3(2), 142-150. you guys have got 2 read this journal. Just go to goole scholar, type it in and you should be able to get it…reads like a bed time story…talks about racial identity and how it is socially constructed…i loved it and I have no doubt that you will too.
to Tribe
Ok,you do have a point
@Fuzzybear
There is nothing “crazy” about what i said – he certainly didnt look like a james dean or a paul newman. He looks more mediterranean.
To tribe
That’s a little crazy for you to say seeing how even at that time, most of the U.S whites weren’t blond with blue eyes
He just did not fit that stereotypical image of the all-American blue eyed blond look. He looks Med
he was kinda strange
