Carson Wentz is an American professional football player. He has played as quarterback with the Philadelphia Eagles, the Indianapolis Colts, and the Washington Commanders of the National Football League (NFL).
Carson is the son of Cathy and Doug Wentz. His family moved to North Dakota when he was three. He is married to Madison Oberg, with whom he has two children. Carson is a Christian.
He is descended from ethnic Germans from the Russian Empire.
Carson’s paternal grandfather was Vernon Leroy Wentz (the son of Harold Wentz and Pauline Fischer). Harold was the son of Peter George Wentz, Jr. and Louisa Lucille Essig. Pauline was the daughter of Jacob B. Fischer and Fredericka Stauss.
Carson’s paternal grandmother was Adeline Edna Gienger (the daughter of Paul C. Gienger and Martha Wolff). Paul was the son of Gottlieb Gienger and Eva Gienger. Martha was the daughter of John Wolff and Karolina Pfeiffer.
Carson’s maternal grandfather was Jim Schaack (the son of William J. Schaack and Rose L. Ukestad). William was the son of Hubert Schaack and Margaret Hammes. Rose was the daughter of Martin Andrew Ukestad and Cecelia L. Diemert.
Carson’s maternal grandmother has the maiden name Bell.
Fascinatingly, it looks like most of Carson’s ancestors are ethnic Germans who emigrated from Russia in the 19th century.
