How is her father’s surname German? A typo?
Because “Kerber” is a literal German surname?
Indeed. I dont remember the context of my comment (maybe my smartphone auto-correct failure). Profile seems correct now.
To be honest, it doesn’t look like anything was changed in between the time you originally commented and my reply. Perhaps you misread some names. No worries.
Maternal grandmother: Maria Rzeźnik
