Paul was of mostly English ancestry, with a smaller amount of German roots, along with distant Scots-Irish/Northern Irish, Scottish, and Swiss-German. His family tree included (relatively) recent emigrants from England and Germany, as well as English roots from ancestors who had long lived in New England, and elsewhere in the U.S.

Paul’s paternal grandfather was Paul William Walker II (the son of Paul William Walker and Harriett/Harriet June Willey). Paul’s grandfather Paul was born in Los Angeles, Los Angeles Co., California.

Elmer was born in Greenfield, Franklin, Massachusetts, the son of Johannes “John” Oefinger, a German emigrant, from Trossingen, Württemberg, and of Louisa/Louise Ann/C. Stark, who was born in Deerfield, Massachusetts, to German immigrants, Ludwig Frederick “Lewis” Stark and Mary/Marie Rechert/Richert. Paul’s great-grandmother Betsey was born in Middletown, Middlesex, Connecticut, the daughter of William H. Spooner and Annie Woodruff Smith, who were from families long-resident in the United States, and of English descent.

why do you say that Nordics are effeminate? stfu racist!
I told the truth
He is one of the few Nordic men that I find really beautiful, the average nordic men have effeminate traits and he dont have it.
According to you, now Northern Europeans/Nordics are not white. They have Mongoloid admixture. Sami, right?
They are white, but not “pure” as they say. I’m against Nordicists, and Eurocentric people like you.
His paternal grandfather Irish Billy Walker looks mongoloid influenced.
Is this him?

I agree.
No,this is his grandfather

looks a bit mongoloid.
I am certainly not a Nordicist. I do not harass Southern Europeans who may or may not have darker skin because I feel that only the pale and blonde should be able to call themselves “white.” If you are looking for a Nordicist, my friend, Lopac is at your beck and call.
:D
Crazy ppl everyone on this page just agrees with everyone like sheep following a pack grow some balls.
So someone think his granpa looks Mongol influenced so Paul in now part Asian how ignorant.
What about the Vikings? By Nordic I’m presuming you mean Scandinavian. There are some burly Scandinavian men out there. All regions have varied people. There are even Norwegian and Swedish people with dark hair, brown eyes and olive skin (shock and horror).
I know there’s all kinds of people in all races. What I meant was about proportions and average nordic men I’ve met, have effeminate characteristics.

Well all I can say about that lot is maybe they need to start playing rugby.
you are a racist troll,you should be ashamed to show your fat face here.
kal northern germans look scandinavian also
I agree whole heartedly with the guy who said Paul Walker looks Nordic rather than Anglo.
You are spot on, infact here’s a Swedish footballer who could pass as Paul Walkers older brother or father, Olof Mellberg.

not long ago BBC did genetic tests in Britain.They tryed (and wanted i guess) to find genes of Vikings there.And they found it just in Orkney islands .lol,even Anglo-Saxons left a little trace at east and south of England.Just look at the genetic map! Difference between Irish and English is very little.
Why Swedish footballer could pass as Paul Walker? i’ll tell you.Cause Scandinavia was populated at neolith from west of Europe.
I am actualy quite curious about Paul, he must be one of the few Irish that decended from Vikings. From their brief time in Ireland.
Cause to be completely honest with you? Paul Walker does not look Celtic or Anglo Saxon at all, or even typical German for the matter, he looks Nordic, Scandinavian.
Plenty Swedish people look just like him but not a lot of Irish, English, or Germans look like Paul walker. Paul had to have some Viking blood at one point!
You maybe right, because English, Irish, Scottish people are ugly as shit! lmao honestly have you seen pictures of the average English, Irish, Scot person? not a pretty sight ahaha.
Kal,have you ever seen any Vikings or Anglo-Saxons?))) ….i don’t think so!
Igothedane, the most beautiful women in the world has heritage from England,Ireland and Scotland,so wipe your eyes!
Irish people are most beautiful)))))
Igothedane u’re damn jealous hater.
Well if you’re Dane (I’m presuming) your ancestors the Vikings didn’t think they were too bad as they took many Irish/Scot women to Iceland with them. Today most Icelandic mt-dna is traced back to Ireland. Although I think a lot o f the Vikings that came to Ireland and Scotland were actually Norwegian.
