George’s father is of half Irish and one quarter German ancestry, with his other quarter being a mix of English, Scottish, and Scots-Irish (Northern Irish) ancestry. George’s mother has English ancestry, along with more distant Scottish, Welsh, and remote French Huguenot and Dutch, roots.
George is married to lawyer Amal (Alamuddin) Clooney, who is of Druze and Lebanese descent. The couple has two children.
George’s paternal great-great-grandfather, Nicholas Clooney, was born, c. 1829, in Windgap, County Kilkenny, Ireland, the son of David Clooney and Mary McGrath, farmers.
George’s paternal grandfather was Joseph Andrew Clooney (the son of Andrew Bartholomew Clooney and Crescentia Koch). Joseph was born in Kentucky. Andrew was the son of Nicholas Clooney and Bridget Byron, who were Irish immigrants. Crescentia was born in Ohio, the daughter of German parents, Joseph A./Henry Koch and Margaret Fehler/Feller/Manns.
George’s paternal grandmother was Marie Frances Guilfoyle (the daughter of Michael Joseph Guilfoyle and Martha Adelia/Ada/Delia Farrow). Marie Frances was born in Kentucky. Michael was the son of Cornelius/Con Guilfoyle, from Tipperary, Ireland, and of Roseanna/Rosanna Sweeney, whose parents were Irish, her father from Laois and her mother from Kilkenny. Martha was the daughter of Samuel Tully Farrow and Louella/Ellin Breckenridge Vanden.
George’s maternal grandmother was Marvin Jackson Warren (the son of William Henry Warren and Ida Lee Chambers). Marvin was born in Kentucky. William was the son of John Linton Warren and Mary B. Gatton. Ida was the daughter of John Martin Chambers and Lucinda/Lucy Ann Crow.
George’s maternal grandmother was Dica Mae Edwards (the daughter of Ansel Leroy Edwards and Nora Bell Perkins). Dica was born in Kentucky. Ansel was the son of James “Jack” Edwards and Dicy Florence Bandy. Nora was the daughter of Cicero/Cysarough Perkins and Martha Jane Wilburn.
George is a half-first cousin, five times removed, of President Abraham Lincoln. George’s maternal great-great-great-great-grandmother, Mary Ann Sparrow, was the half-sister of Nancy Hanks, who was the mother of President Lincoln (Mary and Nancy were both the daughters of Lucy Hanks). Through the same line, George is also a seventh cousin, once removed, of actor Tom Hanks. George’s maternal seven times great-grandparents, John Hanks and Catherine, were also the paternal six times great-grandparents of Tom Hanks.

He looks Middle Eastern (Armenian, Kurdish). He’s even dark for an Italian.
Yeah but don’t you think that his mom and dad look alot whiter than him.
He looks Armenian/Iranian here:

George’s ancestor Nicholas Clooney was born c.1829 in Windgap, County Kilkenny, Ireland, to David Clooney and Mary Mcgrath, both small farmers.
http://www.eneclann.ie/2015/01/the-truth-behind-george-clooneys-irish-roots/
His parents look alot whiter then him.
he looks part italian or middle eastern
but why he should lying ?
There are tons of brits who were born in uk and who are of pure british descent
for example Singer DAVID BYRNE born in scotland and moved to USA in order to become a successful singer has only scottish roots and is dark
He’s lying about his ethnicity. He looks part Middle Eastern.
His ethnicity is well documented. His wife is Middle Eastern, though.
could he be related to Tom Hanks?
Seventh cousin, once removed.
this is quite interesting
Why do so many dark, exotic looking people claim Irish ancestry? Is this some sort of a fad? Lol…
What’s next, Drake is 80% Irish? Hahaha….
Because he is part Irish.
BLACK IRISH look it up they have a Spanish influence
Rubbish – its a term only heard in America – a term of abuse.
He doesn’t have a drop of Welsh Northern Irish French and Scottish in him he is primarily English Irish and German ethnic celebs should his ethnic background back.
Why is everyone always trying to prove how non-white people are.
Yes, the existence of man called Leopold Frankerberger never was proved, the existence of Jesus Christ also never was proved and the christians believe He existed and was blond with green/blue eyes, this world is joke. But, again, Hitler’s case, the main prove are the genetic tests performed in Hitler’s relatives showing they carry the E1b1b(Y-DNA) originated in Africa. It’s not only Hitler,I think all germans, including american germans possess some non-white blood.
Germans may have this “Jewish” / “African” DNA signature, but it generally comes from remote ancestry, and it certainly isn’t proof of a Jewish grandfather.
Especially in the Frankenberger case, where no one can even document his existence.
Wow. Germans aren’t of a “pure race.” I’m shocked . . . not.
Eva Braun, in genetic tests in remainings of her hair was shown that she have some jewish blood, almost all germans have some jewish and/or slavic blood, in all history germans allways eager to mix.
Is there a single piece of paper evidence that Leopold Frankerberger ever existed?
I also heard it before that Hitler had this so-called middle eastern ancestry from morocco Berber. however
he considered blonde Berber (non-black)
to be white Aryan or lost children of Aryan.
so its doesn’t matter.,
Moroccans aren’t middle eastern they’re north-west africans with spanish blood there are plenty
Thanks, I think you’re not american andrew, because I’ve been reading this site and others for a while for fun and to improve my english and I got shocked of how stupid these so called “white” americans are,it’s unbelievable! They talk about northern europeans, like germans,oh my god, how white they are,oh my god, how blonde they are, is it some joke?
The germans are mixed, for example, with polish and jews, like Angela Merkel and Hitler! Where the education of these “white” american jerks come from? Batman, Superman, Spiderman, Ironman, Crocodileman,Bottleman, Flowerman, Daisyman…. Their heroes are the Constitution, Lincoln and Chuck Norris, aren’t you retards? Try to read some books, like history books or even Nietzsche, what Nietzsche thought of americans and germans! But maybe you think Nietzsche is a new singer from Sri Lanka! Do you,idiots, think history began two hundred years ago? For example, someone is crazy enough to compare the history of Italy with the history of germany, before any germanic or celtic pronounces the name ROME, they must get down on his knees like they used to do. Do you want me to write it in german or maybe Latin?
Merkel is 1/4 Polish, yes.
I’d like to know Oscar Pistorius’ ancestry, he’s my hero.
I also don’t have my two legs. I’m black, fat, ugly and I
don’t have my two legs, what a tragedy!!
I’m crying.
I’m sorry for my poor english,it’s my third language.
Afrikaan with some Italian as well
I have more or less the same ethnic background as George Clooney I also have English Irish Scottish Welsh and German ancestry and also Austrian ancestry along with remote Italian ancestry my nephews have French ancestry more or less the same as me they also have English Irish Scottish Welsh German Austrian and remote Italian ancestry.
he’s a standard British Isles Med type like Orlando Bloom, Russell Brand, Cheryl Cole, Catherine Zeta Jones, Colin Farrell, Aidan Turner, Dominic Cooper, etc.
he looks like old Hollywood British Actor Cary Grant.
Like me I’m a standard British Isles Med type.
You’re not standard British Isles if you have recent ancestry not from there. To be standard British Isles you would be English, Scot, Welsh or Irish or a combination of these.
I have all 4 ethnicities of the British Isles English Irish remote Scottish and remote Welsh which is very common in the British Isles most people in the British Isles have 4 ethnicities that makes them British Mongrels I’m not fully standard British since I’m half Filipino.
looks like Cary Grant
There’s something about him that looks ethnic.
well if you look at all his ethnicities, it’s clear he is, he’s hardly native american
I used to think he was Irish but he has a very mixed ancestry.
His father is half Irish, and that’s the side that seems to have dominated culturally over the family when George was growing up.
Culturally but he is only 25% Irish by ancestry.
He has distant German ancestry but he looks Black Irish Black Irish are descendants of Spanish sailors washed up on the coasts of Ireland he could easily pass as Spanish even Italian he is mostly Irish.
There is no such thing as Black Irish. I’ve explained it in previous posts. That stuff about Spanish sailors is a load of codswallop. Just research the Armada. Anyway George has mixed European ancestry and is an American of Irish descent but not Irish.
And George is only 25% Irish so that doesn’t make him mostly Irish. Very good looking man but let’s stick to facts.
It’s the tan right?
He could pass for Italian as well :)
Can someone do mind please I really want to know my ancestry but I have no money please I just wanna know
You are Swedish. Swedish and Korean.
He is realy a good looking man but he doesn´t look like English or German , sorry.
For me he looks like a Irish men even a Spaniard or Italian. I know a guy from my work he is from Turkey and realy he looks like Clooney (80%).
He is mostly Irish.
looks Irish & Welsh but could pass for a Spaniard or a Frenchman
He’s a good looking man but has obviously mixed European ancestry. That’s is why he could look native to a lot of European countries.
The troll
why this man is so ugly ?? lol just fun
he is obviously of irish/british descent
look at Vic beckham or Keira knightley
Meh, he’s a darker Irish man and it’s common to see Irish men like him.
I used to think George was Irish but he obviously has a mixed ancestry.
He is a little over, or just about at, 25% Irish. His paternal grandparents were both half Irish.
Apparently, Clooney has distant French Huguenot ancestry (by his ancestors Francis Posey and Elizabeth Humphrey). Posey and Humphrey are also ancestors of River and Joaquin Phoenix, btw.
I added it in. Thank you.
He is a mix of the most whites ethnicities in Europe and he has Antonio Banderas’s complexion? Okay…
https://i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/4892860416/h1EB40E46/
Clooney was often compared to the Greek goalkeeper Antonios Nikopolodis

http://www.virginmedia.com/images/nikopolidis-clooney.jpg
but also to Cary Grant (English) or English-born coach Nick Mallett
http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lgii3jlTrT1qgev7lo1_500.png
George Clooney is a typical British Isles-descent leading man type, like Matt Dillon, Ben Affleck, or Mitt Romney. If Clark Gable had been of more British Isles descent, he would have fit it as well. Cary Grant and Gregory Peck certainly did.
I agree with every word u said
Even the Mitt Romney part? I was having a little fun there. But he does look like that type.
he is a good example, as Nixon
Nixon was not a leading man type!
Um, he is not a mix of most European ethnicities. He is mostly British Isles / Irish with some German and Dutch. How is that most? It is not even half.
@ theropod
he’s a North-Western mix, not a Scandinavian
http://www.irishgathering.ie/clan_info.asp?clanID=171
american idiots (greetings from GREEN DAY)
you are so stupid
george clooney looks like a typical british man,
he has brown eyes and hair , but this combination is not rare in britain
look at SEAN CONNERY
SIR DENIS THATCHER
ROWAN ATKINSON and other british people
those people are not mulatti or native american people,
True…I agree with this; Just because someone’s a bit dark that doesn’t mean they have to have Native blood in them – Americans always go like “oh he has Native blood in him” blah blah to darker folks…it’s stupid….
Though I still don’t think that Clooney is really just British or Irish. He has to have Italian, Greek or Spanish blood in him.
Connery and Atkinson, I believe, also have South European roots but they just want to remain purely British (like Russel Brand – come on, this guy is spewing Middle Eastern, not just Southern European). Brits don’t care about your ethnicity so that’s why white people with rather dark features there just remain ‘British’.
“He has to have Italian, Greek or Spanish blood in him”
Not in the slightest, he is English/Irish/Scottish/German. His parents (who are both dark-haired and dark-eyed) come from families that have been in the U.S. for many generations, and their ancestries have been very well traced. If he was somehow 1/256 Italian or something (which is unlikely), it wouldn’t change his look.
Actually, his mother may have green or blue eyes. It is hard to tell from some pictures. But his dad definitely has brown and looked more like him.
http://www.heatworld.com/images/116175_615x2000_STD/2013/3/Images/Gallery/george2.jpg
P.S., the genealogies of Atkinson, Connery, and Brand, have all been traced, and they are definitely fully of British Isles descent.
You have to be the most annoying person I’ve encountered so far. On this site — that’s saying something!
Who cares what you “believe” — you have a fixation with people having to be either Italian or Southern European descent.
^ The above is for the user “theropod”.
agree
Now, aren’t you so thick headed? Who said it’s a belief? Can’t we have thoughts? Get real, this site is open for comments and thoughts. Don’t bother replying me if you hate my ‘beliefs’. Imbecile.
thank you!
Typical. Someone speaks the truth and points out the facts/ IS DOING WHAT THE SITE IS FOR, AND FINDING CELEB TREES, and yet you say they are a nuisance to the site?
I”d let to see you spend as much time as follers has on comment, pointing out facts, disproving false information, spreading GOOD information,and for FINDING ALMOST ALL THE FAMILIES/INFORMATION AND GENE LINES.
If you are so deluded you don’t wear to hear the truth, please do not comment anymore or get off your ass to look into yourself. :)
He does not look 100% Caucasian. He must have some Arabian or indian in there. His skin color and features are not 100% Caucasian.
Totally.
He is a typical WASP leading man-type. Sure, his skin is darker than most, but it happens.
I agree I think he looks white with a tan. Not arab or Indian,or south-east Indian.
He looks part Arab or Latino.
I thought he was an Italian American, because is way too dark to be a German or Brit or Irishman, I have never seen any one from those ethnicities as dark as George Clooney, especially German, it’s very rare !
“I have never seen any one from those ethnicities as dark as George Clooney, especially German,”
Clooney’s German ancestry is so minimal that I doubt it has had any affect on his appearance. He is by far more Irish/English than German.
He looks a little bit Hispanic.
HES NOT WHITE – AT ALL
HE LOOKS ARAB OR INDIAN
I was sure, he’s half hyspanic
A major genetic study was carried out a few years ago by Trinity College in Dublin, ostensibly to find out how ‘Celtic’ the Irish are. The result is that the so-called Celtic gene is well diluted and the British have as much Celtic blood as the Irish. BUT, what they did discover is that the significant gene of Irish people comes from North Africa…..go to Ireland and see the dark, brown-eyed beauties that live there. Gorgeous George is one of many.
What were you reading? There is no significant gene of Irish people that comes from North Africa. I know that study you are talking of and it says no such thing. European populations have a mixture of looks because there are dominant and recessive genes. There are just more recessive genes expressed in European populations. You can have a dark eyed dark haired person and a blue eyed blond person in the same family with the same genetics.
FInally a scientifically sound comment. You should copy it and paste it in every page
YAY he is coming to Ireland this April to trace his Irish roots who left from the famine in 1847 how crazy would it be if i got to see him lol,,And he is metting up with Bono when he is over here it would be mad to be able to see them together,,
http://www.irishcentral.com/ent/George-Clooneys-Irish-roots-are-discovered-in-Kilkenny-village-133142458.html
Gorgeous European descended man! That is really the bottom line here! :) Was a real treat watching Brad Pitt (yet another gorgeous European descended man) and George Clooney in Oceans 11.
On a side note, in European cultures George Clooney’s looks is where you get the phrase “tall, dark, and handsome”. Dark, of course is actually referring to the color of his hair being that many Europeans (especially in Northern Europe) will have lighter (blond or light brown) or red hair. In renaissance Europe, a true renaissance noblewoman would bleach her skin so that it was a stunning fair skin and blond hair(much like the actress who plays Lucrezia Borgia in the Showtime series The Borgias looks). A high forehead was also popular and women with shorter foreheads would often pluck their hairline to give them the appearance that they had a high forehead. I wonder what people will think is beautiful a hundred years from now?
He is half greek
SO THE BOTTOM LINE IS AND THIS IS NOT RACIST BUT THE TRUTH IS NO ONE IN REALITY WHETHER OUR GOVERNMENT LIKE IT OR NOT IS PURE WHITE, SORRY!
All those ethnic groups mentioned are Caucasian. Are you under the impression white means Caucasians in the United States only?
@Erudite
It’s been proven a number of times,that Caucasian doesn’t mean your white.It’s just pure and simply racism period,even doctors are starting to stop using the word
As a Caucasian or more specifically English/Irish/Danish American, find the term “white” to be very offensive. If you want to refer to the fact that I am obviously of European descent, just say that I am a Caucasian. That is the PC version.
@Wow, a “white” person according to the government is someone that is either from Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. It has nothing to do with skin color.
oH BY THE WAY HE IS PROBABLY OF ARABIC/MIDDLE-EASTERN DECENT CAUSE ALOT OF THEM TRAVELED TO EUROPE TO INTEGRATE AND MIX. ANYHOW AND THE MIDDLE-EAST IS NOT SO FAR FROM EUROPE, EGYPT OR AFRICA UNLIKE OVER HERE IN AMERICA WE ARE FAR AWAY! AND THAT’S THE TRUTH!
Yeah he’s probably part south europian or north african
Everything these days is a FUCKING LIE AND EVERYONE LIES TO FIT IN! YES it’s TRUE THE WORLD ISN’T NICE AND MOST OF US AMERICANS DO CRITICIZE AND STEROTYPE OTHER RACES JUST TO MAKE THEMSELVES FEEL BETTER FOR SUPERIORITY REASONS IN TECHNICAL TERMS IT =RACISM! MOST BEFORE THE WHOLE CLASH OF AMERICAN SOCIETY DOMINATION ALONG WITH THE WORLD WARS AND FUCKING HOSTILE CULT, DECIEVING, PREJUDICE, KILLING, SATANIC RACE. LIKE HITLER AND HIS NAZIS EVEN BEFORE THAT BRITISH PEOPLE A FEW AGES AGO HATED FOREIGNERS WITH BLACK HAIR DARK BROWN HAIR, TAN, OLIVE AND BROWN SKIN WITH HAZEL,BROWN, DARK EYES AND DIFFERENT ACCENTS.
ALL THIS WAS DUE TO THE SAME MINDSET AND IDEALS OF KEEPING ONES RACE PURE, SUPERIOR AND SOPHISTICATED. TYPICALLY THE BLONDE, LIGHT BROWN OR REDISH COLOR HAIR WITH THE LIGHT PALE, REDISH SKIN AND BLUE/GREEN EYES. OTHERS THAT WEREN’T LIKE THIS OR OF THERE RACE WERE CONSIDERED DEMONIC, TRASHING, LOW CLASS INFERIOR CULTURES.
EVEN BEFORE ENGLAND’S SO CALLED EMPIRIC SOPHISTICATED ESTATE THEY WERE MOSTLY BARBARIC, SPELL BINDING, SORCERY DRUIDS FORMALLY KNOWN AS PAGANS, OR WITCHES (THE NON FEMALE-KIND TO ALL THE RESPECT FOR YOU LADIES OUT THERE) THAT DID ORIGINALLY DO HUMAN OR VIRGIN SACRIFICES ALONG WITH THE ENSLAVEMENT OF PEASENT PEOPLE IN THOSE DAYS.
THAT’S SOMETHING THAT OUR CULTURE DOESN’T WANT US TO KNOW OR IF WE KNOW NOT TO TEACH, EXPOSE OR BE AWARE OF. DO TO A TRUE SOPHISTICATED INSURRECTION THAT COULD LEAD TO A BETTER WAY OF LIFE OR BLOODY INSIDE COUNTRY WAR! FACT IS AS LONG THERE IS THE RICH, POOR, SO CALLED MIDDLE-CLASS OR SPOILED ROTTEN PREJUDICE WITH THIS ONE-WORLD GOVERNMENT WE LIVE IN DECLARING CORRUPTED POLITICS FALSE RELIGION SEPARATED CULTURES AND RACES.
THEIR WILL ALWAYS BE KKKS, NAZIS, SECRET SERAGATION SOCIETIES, SATANIC CULTS AND BI-RACIAL GANGS OR OTHER MEANS OF ORGANIZED CRIME IN WHICH EVERYONE WILL SOON DECLARE EITHER BLACK OR WHITE AND NOTHING IN BETWEEN CAUSE THAT’S HOW EVERYBODY’S LIVING ANYWAYS NOW OR SO WHAT! AND THAT’S HOW THE OUR UNRIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT WANTS IT ANYHOW. SOONER OR LATER PEOPLE WILL BE DECLARING THE MARK OF THE BEAST AND FOLLOWING OF THE ANTI-CHRIST WITH THE REST THE FALSE EVIL SHIT.
HOPEFULLY THIS WAS HELPFUL TO SOME AND EVERYONE LEARNED SOMETHING THAT THEY DID OR DIDN’T KNOW TO BRUSH UP ON IT!
BY THE WAY I’M TEXAN OF NATIVE AMERICAN, IRISH, GERMAN, MEXICAN AND ASIAN DECENT. ALSO I’M A CHRISTIAN AND A METAL HED SO NO HATE MAIL MOTHERFUCKERS!
THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE, LOVE AND TRUST IN GOD ONLY!
NO CONTRAVESY PLEASE!
I thought he was Spanish,Scicilian or Greek or possibly Pied-Noir(French Arab from Algeria/Tunisia when it was a French colony).
And morocco
He is very dark like Greek or Spanish, I’m surprised he is Irish, English and German, he doesn’t look anything like Irish, English and German.
I love stereotypes don’t you?
i think so too.
Stereotypes ftw!!, natives of those countries would laugh at those statements as there are plenty that fit his type. Hell you don’t even have to be a native to have heard of Colin Farrell, Sean Connery (both Irish descent) or any other big stars that are just as dark. Stereotypes are bad mmmmkay
Doesn’t he have English ancestry?
Did he get engaged recently?
That’s weird! I thought he was Spanish or italian. I have never
seen a german or Irish man or a English man with a Italian/Spanish look unless there Italian or Spanish if that makes sense!!!
That’s because American’s stereotype everyone.
True. One of my parents friends is 100 % German, born in Munich, and he has dark eyes, dark hair and tan skin.
People never believe him, when he says he’s German, because people always think of German as blonde-haired, blue-eyed, pale people, when the majority of German have dark hair and dark eyes.
whoops, meant Germans.
he also has english ancestry
http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=PED&db=dowfam3&id=I58615
JenJen you are right but george clooney really looks like a spanish man :) and with spanish i mean spain! europe!
Not everyone with dark hair, eyes and or skin are of Spanish descent…… Indians, Arabs, Italians, French, etc.
I kinda believe that person… It makes sense sort of…
Edward wrote at 2007-08-28 05:09:57
So sorry…to deflate you J Dizzle he is not of any armenian background. His father is Irish..his mom has some strong english, german and spanish lineage…so I think the orginal person was correct when he said of Irish and some spanish. Furthermore, he had mentioned that on a television show awhile ago.
Add to that, if you are considered black irish”(denoting dark or black hair with dark or blue eyes) this was from the spanish armada ships that shipwrecked in Ireland…also the trade with Spain. City of Gallway Ireland actually has monuments there talking about that.
It’s from this website LINK: http://en.allexperts.com/q/Clooney-George-18/f/Regarding-George-ethnicity.htm
Yes, Black Irish indeed! My great grandmother told me we are black irish decent, she was a mother of 4 daughters, 3 had red hair, 1 had black hair.
Thanks on the tip about Gallway Ireland, and looking for more clues about the story of black irish!
I THOUGHT HE WAS ITALIAN
you weren’t the only one.
Lil Vacha whats the link to that site?
he’s not 2 dark 2 b either Irish or German or both. Irish ppl call the darker ones like Clooney “black Irish”. Way, way, way back in the day, mediterranean ppls settled in Germany & in the British Isles, which is evidenced in part by ppl who look like Clooney w/ the darker features. They’re not the majority, but they’ve always been there. He’s just of a different stock than what alot of Americans consider your typical Irish.
There’s a website saying something that his dad is Irish and German and his mother is English, German, and Spanish. It sounds kind of believable. If you really think about it. Because his mother’s last name is Warren and that’s an English last name, its kinda Germanic too.
I dont believe that. he looks way 2 dark
i thought he was half Italian or something dark like that
he looks very spanish
I always thought he was Greek. Don’t know where I got that idea. ???
I THOUGHT HE WAS GREEK TOO! Aside from his last name he just seemed to look a lot like my neighbors, who are mostly Greek or at the other end my street Italian.
George Clooney is Irish and German [references at: http://www.genealogy.com/famousfolks/george-clooney/index.htm#toc%5D and [http://www.abcnews.go.com/Primetime/Health/story?id=1168227&page=2] Change that plz.
