Grandfather’s last name is correctly written Vojtka, not Voytka. Vojtka is short form is Slavic name Vojtech.
black DNA is in all races.
stfu just because youre not pure doesnt mean others cant be
Too bad George Lopez’s show was cancelled. She could have had a DNA testing for her ethnic makeup,even though I don’t think she would have really went on his show. It would have been ironic if she had a substantial amount of indigenous/Native American blood in her. Oh well.
Through her mother’s French Canadian side she has mostly french ancestry from France and Swiss & Huron (native) ancestry. This is confirmed on her french canadian family tree through http://www.nosorigines.qc.ca.
Her tree starts here: http://www.nosorigines.qc.ca/GenealogieQuebec.aspx?genealogy=Angelina_Jolie&pid=191681&lng=en
Her Swiss ancestor is her 12th great grandfather pierre miville his tree is here: http://www.nosorigines.qc.ca/GenealogieQuebec.aspx?genealogie=Miville_Pierre&pid=3327&lng=en
Her Huron ancestor is her 9th great grandmother Catherine Anenontha her tree is here: http://www.nosorigines.qc.ca/GenealogieQuebec.aspx?genealogie=Anenontha_Catherine&pid=19840&lng=en
& thats all the confirmed ancestry of her mother’s french canadian side. Her mother is half french canadian and american, so she probably has more different ethincities in her ancestry.
Please update this info on her ethnicity, and take out that Iroquois rumour because its actually offensive to Catherine Anenontha’s history. Her family was killed by the Iroqouis.
“Catherine Annennontak, who had been a refugee from the massacre at the Huron Missions by the Iroquois in 1648.”
