Ryan Newman is an American actress and model.
She has said that she is “half Jewish… half Christian… mostly Jewish.” Her paternal grandfather and maternal grandparents were/are Jewish.
Ryan’s paternal grandfather was Richard Ferdinand Newman (the son of Harry Henry Newman and Sophie Pick). Harry was the son of Louis Samuel Neumann and Rosa Meirowitz. Sophie was the daughter of Ferdinand Pick and Miriam Katie De Fries.
Ryan’s paternal grandmother is Patricia Aylesworth Morris (the daughter of Charles William Morris and Jennie Virginia Ready). Patricia was born in New York. Charles was born in Washington, D.C., the son of Charles Robert Morris and Ena Grace Mills. Jennie was born in Illinois, the daughter of Thomas Willard Ready and Grace Ethel Mihills.

Ryan’s maternal grandfather was Jerry Refold.
Ryan’s maternal grandmother is Barbara Siegel.
Looks like her mother’s both parents are Jewish.
Why? The Newman side could be non-Jewish.
Her great-great-grandmother’s last name is Meirowitz. It sounds kinda Jewish to me, so she might have some Jewish on her father side. Her great-great-grandfather’s last name was Neumann. I’m a bit stuck on her paternal grandmother. I think her name is Patricia, but I’m not sure.
Can you fill in the blank spots here. Who were her paternal grandparents and their ancestors?
Ryan’s paternal grandfather was Richard Ferdinand Newman (the son of Harry Henry Newman and Sophie Pick). Harry was the son of Louis Samuel Neumann and Rosa Meirowitz. Sophie was the daughter of Ferdinand Pick and Miriam Katie De Fries.
I just found his and Patricia’s wedding announcent, and her last name is Morris (which means she is her grandmother, since Morris appears as the name of her father’s mother on his birth record).

Possibly grandmother:

Looks like De Fries family is Jewish too.

unsurprising since Miriam’s second husband was Jewish, and her first husband Ferdinand was also possibly Jewish.
madman, it looks like her grandfather was also 100% Jewish. Whether he converted to Christianity for his wife, I don’t know.
Yes, it looks like it. Her comments still make somewhat sense if her grandmother isn’t Jewish (in that video she added that she is “mostly Jewish”, but I didn’t include it since I didn’t know what it meant).
