iJustine, also known by her birth name Jenna Ezarik, is an American lifecaster, comedian, internet personality, actress, and television host. She became known for her channel ijustine.tv. She has appeared on the YouTube series Annoying Orange and Escape the Night, the reality series The New Celebrity Apprentice, and the series Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Criminal Minds, The Bold and the Beautiful, and The Vampire Diaries. She is also known for her “300-page iPhone bill.”
iJustine is the daughter of Michelle, a physical education teacher, and Steve Ezarik, a coal miner. iJustine is the sister of internet personalities Breanne Ezarik and Jenna Ezarik.
iJustine’s paternal grandfather was Stephen Joseph “Steve/Skid” Ezarik, Jr. (the son of István Tesařík, later Stephen “Steve” Ezarik, Sr., and Anna Szlota). István was born in Pečovská Nová Ves, Austria-Hungary, now Slovakia, the son of János Tesařík and Mária Tutoká. Anna was also born in Pečovská Nová Ves, and was the daughter of János Szlota and Mária Kurimská. The name Szlota is possibly of Hungarian origin, as Slovakia also has people with German, Hungarian, and other ancestors. Some surnames in Slovakia follow the convention of these languages. However, it is unclear if iJustine has Hungarian ancestry.
iJustine’s paternal grandmother was Helen Grayce Petrick (the daughter of Wilhelm Petrisek, later William Petrick, and Helen Grace Derouin). Helen was born in Pennsylvania. Wilhelm was born in Germany, of Croatian, Hungarian, and German descent; he was the son of George Petrisek, who was from Croatia, and of Julianna/Julia Getto, who was born in Beremend, Hungary. iJustine’s great-grandmother Helen Derouin was the daughter of Joseph Baptist Louis Derouin/Derrouin, whose father was French-Canadian, and of Margaret Anna Moyer, who was of German, and remote English and Swiss-German, descent.
iJustine’s maternal grandfather was Fred Borsh/Borshow (the son of Ananij/Ananiy/Amany/Anany/Andy/Samuel Borsch/Borschev/Borshow and Katerina/Catherine Karlashoff/Karlashova). Fred was born in Ohio. Ananij was born in Ilask/Ilossk/Elossk, likely the city in Belarus. Katerina was Ukrainian.
iJustine’s maternal grandmother was Anna Helen “Ann” Lepo (the daughter of Vladimir “Walter” Lepo and Catherine/Katherine Malinac). Anna was born in Ohio, to Croatian parents.

Wilhelm was the son of George Petrisek and Julia Getto. Helen Grace was the daughter of French-Canadian immigrant Joseph Louis Derouin and Margaret Anna Moyer.
Sorry, Joseph is not a French-Canadian immigrant. But, his second given name is Baptist.
By the way, I have several corrections to make:
István Ezarik -> István Tizsarik
Anna Slota -> Anna Szlota
István was the son of János Tizsarik and Mária Tutoky. Anna was the daughter of János Szlota and Mária Kurimszky.
These are their respective baptismal records: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-68GQ-RQB and https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-266-12052-132781-44
I am not sure if her surname is of Hungarian origin because her great-great-grandfather, János Tizsarik, was born in Alsó-Szalók which is in Hungary. Please, look at his marriage record (the bottom one): https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-266-12127-42608-71
