Arielle’s paternal grandfather was William R. Kebbel (the son of Friedrich Otto “Fred” Kebbel and Anna S. Marchert). William was born in Illinois, the son of ethnic German emigrants, from Poland/Lithuania. Friedrich was the son of August Friedrich Kebbel and Bertha Auguste Feitusch. Anna was the daughter of Josef Marchert and Helene Magdalene Kebbel.
Arielle’s paternal grandmother was Jean Helen Schultze (the daughter of John Charles Schultze, Sr. and Helen Karoline/Colleen Schroeppel). Jean was born in Illinois, of German descent. John was the son of Charles W. Schultze and Marie E. Fischer. Helen was the daughter of Albert Henry Schroeppel and Ida Anne Barbara Becker.
Arielle’s biological maternal grandfather is James Douglas Kidd (the son of Robert Hamilton Kidd and Marie Viar). James was born in Fairfax, Virginia. Robert was the son of James B. Kidd (the son of James William T. Kidd and Nancy/Nannie S. Phillips) and Estelle L. Wray (the daughter of Robert H. Wray and Pauline E. Purvis).
Arielle’s maternal grandmother was Ann Caroline Gorham (the daughter of Leonard C. Gorham and Caroline M. Kast). Ann was born in Alexandria, Virginia. Leonard was born in Virginia, the son of Samuel Gorham, who had English ancestry, and of Elizabeth C. Krause, who was of German descent. Arielle’s great-grandmother Caroline was born in Washington, D.C., the daughter of Frank Charles Kast, Sr. and Mary Catherine Schlag, who were of German origin.
Arielle is a second cousin, once removed, of actor Bryan Cranston. Arielle’s paternal great-great-grandparents, Josef Marchert and Helene Magdalene Kebbel, were also Bryan’s maternal great-grandparents. The two are also more distantly related through Arielle’s patrilineal line.

She’s related to Bryan Cranston.
Her 2nd great-grandparents Josef Marchert and Helene Magdalene Kebbel were Bryan’s great-grandparents, making them 2nd cousins once removed, and Arielle and Taylor Dearden 3rd cousins through that line.
They’re also related through August Friedrich Kebbel’s grandparents (Arielle’s 4th great-grandparents) Daniel Kebbel and Dorothea Stein, who are also Bryan’s 3rd great-grandparents (parents of Wilhelmine Kebbel), making them 4th cousins once removed through that line.
I’m sorry, but I still don’t see the point with “Austrian/Czech” instead of simply “Czech”. Austrian people are from the country today known as Austria, so to write “born in Austria” is misleading, given that her great-great-grandmother, more likely than being an Austrian of Czech descent, was probably just a Czech, from the Czech Republic. If her ancestor had an ambigous surname I would understand, but “Patucek” is clearly Czech.
How do you know that Louisa Patucek was “just” a Czech rather than an Austrian of Czech descent? The census lists Adeline E. Hock’s parents as having been born in Austria.
I looked up some more information about Louise Patucek, and it looks like you are right this time. This marriage record lists her as being born in Vienna, Austria (although she could still be fully Cezch).

Anyway, this is an exception. “Austria” in censuses is often just short for Austria-Hungary, and people from that country sometimes wrote down “Austria” instead of their native region. You’ll find some people whose birthplace varies between “Austria” and “Czechoslovakia”, depending on the census. Most often, when a person is listed as born in Austria, the best assumption is that the person was native to the region where their surname originates. So I still object to the use of “Austrian/something else” on other profiles (such as Claire Danes).
Austrian —> Czech
I assure you, she’s a white woman 110 %. Try searching for her photos from the early to mid 2000’s, you’ll see her natural blonde hair. And what’s this shit about her being mestizo? Lol I swear people her just pull this shit right outta their asses without even seeing any real meetings. Benjamin Bratt is half Native American, but he looks like a full Amerindian! Some ethnicities don’t share, they take over lol
What’s up with the hair color
