Nick Wechsler is an American actor.
Nick’s maternal grandfather was George Phillip Latsha (the son of Samuel Merritt/Meritt Latsha and Dora Phillip/Phillips). George was born in Arkansas. Samuel was the son of Paul Hoffman Latsha and Ellen Knight. The name Latsha was originally spelt Latschar, and can be traced back to Peter Joseph Latschar, who was born in Latterbach, Switzerland, the son of Hans Heinrich Latschar and Anna Maria. Nick’s grandfather George also had English and German ancestry, with roots in Rhineland-Palatinate and Bavaria, Germany.
Nick’s maternal grandmother was Wilma Jean/Mary Lazarine (the daughter of John Francisco Calvin Lazarine and Jorena/Jorene/Regina Josephine Mora). Wilma was born in Texas, and was of Mexican ancestry. John was the son of Francisco “Frank” Lazarine and Petra Mendoza. Jorena was the daughter of Gabe Mora and Jorena.

I believe this might be Wilma Jean:

The name is transcribed as Wilmer, but it actually says Wilma on the image.
Wilma Jean Latsha was indeed buried in Nacogdoches, Texas.
Her parent’s were John Lazarine and Jorena/Regina Josephine Mora:
