Mae’s maternal grandfather was Donald Carr Musick, Jr. (the son of Donald Carr Musick, Sr. and Etheldreda “Ethel” Craden). Mae’s grandfather Donald was born in Missouri. Mae’s great-grandfather Donald was the son of William Carr Musick and Margaret Aurelia Cronin. Ethel was the daughter of Harry Joseph Craden and Catherine “Katie” Cotwinkle/Kotterinkel.

Is the obituary not enought to conclude Don was her grandfather?
Oh, I just hadn’t looked at it yet.
Also I think Mae Whitman’s maternal grandmother was Jane Frances (Maginnis), who was the daughter of Louis Eugene Maginnis and Nan Byrnes. I found references to Donald Carr Musick Jr.’s marriage who was born December 20, 1923 and died January 23, 2003 so I am pretty sure the maternal grandmother is the right person. apologizes if I am wrong. trying to be helpful
Mae Whitman is at least 1/16th Irish from her maternal grandfather’s side of the family. As noted Donald Carr Musick Jr. was the son of Donald C. Musick and Ethel C. Craden. Donald C. Musick (Sr.) was the son of William Carr Musick and Margaret Cronin. Cronin was from Missouri and born to Irish parents. Cronin is a common Irish surname.
I appreciate the Irish addition. Any luck finding out if I was accurate about Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s maternal grandmother?
Apologizes, maternal “grandfathers” side of the family
Looks exotic. Looks Italian.
Not sure what is “exotic” about Italians?
Italy is a huge country, with large regional differences from Sicily to Northern Italy.
Many posts on this site are an embarrassment to humankind, and make me lose faith in people.
Grow up.
she does not look “exotic” whatsoever but she can pass for an Italian girl, among other things. Not the kind of face that screams Italian though.
This girl does not have Italian ancestry AFAIK but she looks very very Italian: http://ethnicelebs.com/kathryn-mccormick
On the other hand, a lot of Italian women have light eyes and light hair as well. Example: http://ethnicelebs.com/chiara-ferragni-2
