Obituary of Tara’s maternal grandmother, Dorothy Adele (Lynch) Russo – https://www.legacy.com
The Scottish are nothing else than Iskit Proto – Turks (Scythe), Basque/Basks are derived directly from Central Asia, Celts/Kelts settled from Çorum/Anatolia, Italian Etrusks building up the Roman Empire came from Urla/Izmir and even share the turkish Wolf myth (Romulus/Remus – Ergenekon)… The Huns in Hungay are nothing else than Western Gök-Turks, Estlan & Finland (Sami/Suomi) have direct bounds to ancient Proto – Turkic Sumerians..
Why all these Turkish wannabes in the Internet? What a plague.
Life started on Earth over 4 billion years ago. Start there. Go.
Well, with her full ancestry put up, it looks like she is mostly of Irish ancestry. Then she is 1/8 English, 1/8 German, 1/8 Italian and roughly 1/32 Scottish. Castiaux is obviously a surname of French origin and “Losey” is a tricky one (a sort of anglicization).
Genealogy of Ida Losey’s father (I, of course, didn’t bother verifying it):

If this is correct, she has distant Dutch ancestry
@bablah
Hence it looks like her English ancestry is a bit more than 1/8 but not that much, being from distant Colonial times. And not even close to her total Irish ancestry as it’s written atm.
I can’t go further that Frederick Castiaux born in Ireland cca 1790. He was from Galway.
Thank you. Consider that back to 1790 Galway had to be a almost 100% Irish language-speaking town, so that Frederick Castiaux was definitely an immigrant with French ancestry

Amazing
Tara’s paternal grandfather was Thomas Lawrence Reid, Sr. (the son of John/Jack Reid and Margaret Brown). John was born in England to an Irish father and an English mother. Margaret was born in England to an English father, William Brown/Browne, and a mother of Irish and Scottish descent, Mary Jordan.
Tara’s paternal grandmother was Helene M. Hannan (the daughter of Patrick J. Hannan and Julia A. Sheehan). Helene was born in Massachusetts, to Irish parents.
Her surname is usually Scottish, but also common in Ireland. The Italian part often goes along with the Irish, and she is also from N.J., hence it’s plausible. French and Hungarian…I dunno…verification needed.
