Surname Keibler can be english or french as well.Wikipedia claimed her german heritage just because of her last name, i guess.Even it’s true and Stacy’s ancestor with this surname who arrived to America was from Germany,so when it happened 100 ,200 or 300 years ago? and all the other her ancestors was from Germany too? i don’t think so.
