I see he has German, Irish, Scottish, etc. as his ancestry. Surely it should be highlighted that he has Cork blood. Having Cork blood is defining and like knowing you were a stone or rock but when you look into your ancestral tree you see you have a gold streak in the stone
His patrilineal line traces back to a Richard Seager, born c. 1595, in England
Great artist
