AnnaLynne McCord is an American actress, women’s activist, and model. Her roles include the film The Haunting of Molly Hartley and the series 90210.
AnnaLynne is the daughter of Sheri (Garday) and David Lance McCord. Her father is a Christian minister.
There is an internet rumor that one of AnnaLynne’s grandmothers was Kenyan. This does not appear to be accurate.
A picture of AnnaLynne with her mother and sisters can be seen here. A picture of AnnaLynne’s mother can be seen here.
AnnaLynne’s paternal grandfather was William Larry McCord (the son of James Broadus McCord and Edna Pearl Martin). William was born in Atlanta, Georgia. Edna was the daughter of John Milton Martin and Mary Ann Fortner.
AnnaLynne’s paternal grandmother is Peggy Thomas (the daughter of Lee Sanders Thomas and Etoyle Haynes). Lee was the son of Henry Lee Thomas and Mary Elizabeth Bessie Persons. Etoyle was the daughter of David Mathis Haynes and Bertie Mae McGarity.
AnnaLynne’s maternal grandfather likely is Roy B. Garday (the son of Silas T. Garday and Alma). Roy was born in Florida. Silas was the son of Silas T. Garday and Ida.
AnnaLynne’s maternal grandmother is named Gloria.

William Larry McCord the paternal grandfather was the son of James Broadus McCord (1903-1972) (GA) and Edna Pearl Martin (1902-1985) (GA). Edna was the daughter of John Milton Martin (1873-1960) and Mary Ann Fortner (1876-1940). Paternal grandmother was Peggy (Thomas) McCord, the daughter of Lee Sanders Thomas (1909-1992) and Etoyle Haynes (1910-2000). Lee was the son of Henry Lee Thomas and Mary Elizabeth Bessie Persons. Etoyle was the daughter of David Mathis Haynes and Bertie Mae McGarity. Bertie was the daughter of Gardner McGartiy and Laura Ginn. “McGarity” and “Ginn” are Irish surnames so Irish should be added to the ethnicity.
Or Scots-Irish
Andrew is right about the McGarity’s. the Irish ancestor Abner McGarity (1780) is said to be Scotch-Irish in his obituary. Abner is Gardner McGarity’s great-grandfather. But I still think the Ginn lineage is Irish.

Her mother’s eye area suggests admixture from somewhere..
Yes, from British Isles or Germany, if you prefer: https://www.instagram.com/p/BK1QeTLD-p4/?taken-by=theannalynnemccord

Also are you sure Roy Garday is her grandfather. The only Garday I found in Bryan County, Georgia is this man

and I’m not really sure even he has anything to do with her family.
I can’t find Roy past 1940.
Her grandmother’s name is deffinitely Gloria, though.
I’m not sure, which is why I wrote “likely”. I don’t remember where that comes from.
Which grandmother is Gloria?
Did you find McCord’s Kenyan grandmother?
Her grandmother was Kenyan.
Her maternal grandmother is Gloria. Deffinitely a caucasian woman.
Are you trying to say that McCord has no Kenyan ancestry?
BTW, there is some confusion on Jeremy Renner and Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi’s pages.
