Cody Bellinger is an American professional baseball player. He is an outfielder and first baseman for the Chicago Cubs of Major League Baseball (MLB). He has also played for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Cody is the son of Jennifer, who works for Sotheby’s International Realty, and professional baseball player Clay Bellinger (Clayton Daniel Bellinger). His brother, Cole Bellinger, played baseball in the Padres farm system. Cody has two children with his partner, Bahamian model Chase Carter.
Cody’s paternal grandfather was Daniel Bellinger (the son of Herbert/Hubert Louis Bellinger and Mary Louise Peter). Daniel was born in New York. Herbert was the son of Louis William Bellinger and Pearl A. Green. Mary was the daughter of Richard Gould Peters and Virginia Hudson Chamberlain.
Cody’s paternal grandmother was Penelope A. Meleniclis (the daughter of Emanuel Meleniclis and Helen Schaefer). Emanuel was born in Cairo, Egypt, the son of Greek parents, Peter Meleniclis and Penelope. Helen was born in Budapest, Hungary, the daughter of Jack Schaefer.
Cody’s maternal grandfather’s surname is Dunn.
If someone could find out what ethnicity the Schafer lineage is in the case I would really appreciate it.
I think he is Arab. Penelope A. Meleniclis (1944) appears to be the daughter of Emanuel Meleniclis 1905 Cairo, Egypt and Helen Schaefer 1907 Budapest, Hungary.
Doubt it, Meleniclis is a Greek surname.
I guess my next question is what ethnicity would his wife Helen Schaefer be?
Either Austrian, German or Jewish. Not Hungarian.
Emanuel was the son of Penelope and Peter Meleniclis. Helen was the daughter of Jack Schaefer. I think the Schaefer’s were Ashkenazi Jewish.
Cody Bellinger’s paternal grandparents were indeed Daniel Bellinger (1916-1991) NY and Penelope A. Meleniclis. Daniel’s father was as listed Herbert Louis Bellinger (1921-1992) Worchester, New York and Mary Louise Peters (1918-2018) NY. Herbert was the son of Louis William Bellinger and Pearl A. Green. Mary was the daughter of Richard Gould Peters and Virginia Hudson Chamberlain. I can continue talk about Cody’s paternal grandfathers side but to sum it up he is German, Irish, English, Scottish, and possibly Dutch (from a Van Vechten lineage) on that side alone. I will search for Cody’s paternal grandmothers side soon.
