Eric is the son of Gwen and Wayne Winter. His mother is pictured here.
Eric’s maternal grandfather was Nelson Lee Macomber (the son of Thomas Edward Mooney and Ruth Frances/Francis Mutart/Muttart). Nelson was born in Michigan. Thomas was the son of Frank John Mooney and Hannah Ann “Nora” Ryder. Ruth was the daughter of Louis/Lewis Philip Mutart and Winifred/Winnifred Eva Macomber.
Eric’s maternal grandmother was Shirley Ann Barrett (the daughter of Cecil Barrett and Ruth Mabel Young). Shirley was born in Michigan. Cecil was the son of William Barrett and Margaret Palmer Smith. Ruth was the daughter of Frederick E. “Fred” Young, who was Canadian, and of Millie/Mildred J. Groves.

His maternal grandparents were Nelson Lee Macomber and Shirley Ann Barrett.
Lee’s mother was Ruth Frances Mutart/Muttart, but I’m not entirely sure if Carl Macomber was his biological father. Carl and Ruth were 1st cousins once removed. He was much older than her, and if she was married to a rich architect, she wouldn’t have given up her younger son for adoption. Plus, it says she lived in Cleveland in 1935 on the census, while Carl was living in Saginaw AND they only got married in 1937.

Add Scottish and French-Canadian.
And Alsatian German

Still no different than just saying German. Adding regions just make it more confusing, they already add enough regions in the tag for Spanish and Italian (not sure why specifically those ethnicities on here).
We like that stuff here. Except for Aromanians (not the coolest ethnicity).
About Alsatia, it was claimed by France and Germany in the past, hence it has its own peculiarity.
I agree totally. We should get rid of most regions here.
I don’t think so.
Even Wikipedia has a “people of Calabrian descent” category. And other regional ones.
As I told you it all started with Ariana Grande (I am Sicilian and Abruzzese).
Just because you have a fetish for Italian culture doesn’t mean every region should be listed as if it was its own ethnicity. I would’ve agreed with you if it was only, let’s say, two regions, each with a common identity (like Dutch and Flemish people, although they aren’t in the same country). I’ve already said that I think Sicilian, Corsican, and Sardinian should be mentioned. But every single region? No. Every country is divided in areas with historical and cultural significance, we should then do the same with them all.
I think it started with Manila adding Spanish regions to Latin American people. Since they are most often a mix of many Spanish colonizers, that often includes close to every single region. It’s horrible to look at.
These are the kind of trivia which made this site one of the most culturally advanced ones you may find. Our mission is to educate people about geography. It’s…awesome.
I don’t consider this site’s goal to be to educate people, but educating is also about making things concise and not adding too much unnecessary information. Why Italy and Spain can have all their regions listed when we can’t even always pinpoint the exact ethnicity of other countries and have to resort to made up ethnicities, like “Iraqi” or “Black South African”, I don’t understand.
I was a bit ironic btw both countries were politically not like they are now. We had things like Kingdom of Asturias or Grand Duchy of Tuscany in the past, for example. You don’t find such cultural heritage in other countries.
“You don’t find such cultural heritage in other countries.”
You don’t really believe this, do you? Ever heard of Novgorod? Prussia? Toulouse? Jämtland in Sweden had one of the first known parliaments when they were an independent republic in the middle ages. To this day, they still have their own language and a strong cultural identity.
Yes. That’s the same link I posted last year.
