Camren Bicondova is an American actress, dancer, model, and advocate. She was raised in Hawaii. She is known for playing Selina Kyle on the series Gotham.
Camren’s surname Bicondova was possibly originally spelt Viconda, and is of Basque origin, which she has confirmed on Twitter. She has also stated that she is a third-generation Spanish immigrant. Her ancestry is Mexican/Spanish, Basque, Rusyn, English, Irish, Swedish, German, and Scottish.
Camren’s paternal grandfather is Patrick Bicondova (the son of Steve Julian Bicondova and Mary Ruby Candelaria). Patrick was born in California. Steve was born in Winslow, Arizona, the son of John/Juan P. Bicondova, who was born in Irurita, Basque County, Spain, and of Pauline Cooper, who was of three quarters Mexican and one quarter British Isles descent. Camren’s great-grandmother Mary likely was the daughter of Jose/Joe Candelaria/Candalaria and Estefanita/Anita Ortega, who were from New Mexico, and were of Mexican descent.
Camren’s paternal grandmother is Nancy Louise Harobin (the daughter of Stephen Harobin and Rose M. Gunn). Stephen was born in Pennsylvania, the son of Vasil/Basilius Harobin/Harabin, who was born in Osturňa, Slovakia, and likely was of Rusyn descent, and of Theresa, who likely was also of Rusyn origin. Rose was born in New Hampshire, the daughter of Edward Gunn and Mary Margaret McNamara, and was of partially or entirely Irish ancestry.
Camren’s maternal grandfather is named James B. Porter.
Camren’s maternal grandmother likely is Ramona Carnes (the daughter of Kenneth Dale Carnes and Dorothea Arlene Peterson). Kenneth was the son of Francis/Frank C. Carnes and Rosa/Rose Agnes Jacob, whose father was German and whose mother was English. Dorothea was the daughter of John Irenius Peterson, who was Swedish, and whose father was a minister; and of Hazel Esta Woodburn, who had English, Irish, and Scottish ancestry.

So she’s 1/16th Basque and also part Mexican.
I think her maternal grandparents might be James B. Porter and Ramona R., but they’re very young so I’m not sure…
Those are her grandparents after all.

Can you look more into her paternal great-grandmother Rose?
What I know for sure is that her name was Rose M. Gunn. There’s a Rose M. Harobin nee Gunn that died in New Hampshire in 2012 but I can’t find an obituary to confirm it’s the same woman (NH is a long way from San Diego).
Rose was born in New Hampshire. Perhaps she was visiting family.
It’s strange how I can’t find anything other than her sister’s obituary.
She looks like Italian singer Alessandra Amoroso.

Her paternal grandmother’s name is Nancy Louise Harobin.

Stephen’s parents are Vasil Harobin and Theresa.

Vasil was from Osturňa , Slovakia:

Considering that he’s from Osturňa and his parents are Ukrainian Greek-Catholic, I’d say with some 90% certainty that he’s Rusyn.
I couldn’t find Nancy’s mother, but I have a suspicion it could be Rose Gunn, daughter of Edward Gunn (son of Edward Gunn and Rose Monahan) and Mary McNamara.
Paternal grandfather is Patrick Bicondova:
