Genealogy of Emma Watson (focusing on her father’s side) – https://www.geni.com
She has milky white skin that would tan if she want out in the sun long enough she defiantly has Italian blood in her German bloodline i have Italian blood i went too a Italian restaurant one of the staff was female she looked like my sister there is defiantly Italian blood in my bloodline if you look Italian its obivously in your blood my ancestors mostly come from England Ireland Scotland Wales and Phillippines.
Just because she has a “milky white skin” that would “tan” doesn’t mean she has Italian blood.
She’s as white and as British as anyone could be!
true
Italians are white, so you missed the whole point by a fucking continent…
Where does Capricious say Italians are not white?
She defiantly she has Italian in her its likely a Italian person married into her German family that’s why she looks Italian same with me I had someone tell me I have the Italian look my grandmother Austrian German she had a slight Italian look when she was younger ive seen old pictures of her its likely a Italian married into her Austrian bloodline thats why she looked Italian when she was younger that’s why I look Italian its likely there is a Italian person that married into my bloodline.
Who said that all Germans are blond with blue eyes? Much less the Saxons! I’m ethnic German and my eyes are brown, although it’s true that my skin is very clear. I have also Italian, London, Irish and French (of Germanic origin, Barr, Alsace) ancestry. And I look perfectly Nordic with my brown eyes. Not to mention that is full of Italians with extra white skin and clear eyes. Europeans are mixed since the world began. And I don’t see that she looks very Italian. Although she may look something Jewish. Especially when she was very young and she had a distinctly different nose that we see today.
She defiantly looks Italian there is lots Italians in Germany there is plenty of Germans that look like her Germans can easily have Italian blood lots of Germans have intermarried with Italians long before the second world war Italians have been in Germany for years for many generations since the early middle ages I wouldn’t be surprised if there is any Germans and Austrians who have Italian mixed into their blood Italians have been in Austria since the early middle ages.
She defiantly looks Italian there is lots of Italians in Germany some Germans have Italian blood even Austrians have Italian blood because Southern Austria is near the Italian border Austrian and Germans have intermarried with Italians over years Italians are everywhere in the world not all Germans are full blooded Germans the full blooded Germans don’t look anything like her Kristen Dunst is of German descent she looks very German she looks more German than Emma Watson there is Italian blood in the British Isles the Romans were in Britain for nearly 400 years.
I agree. It’s much more likely that an Italian married into a German bloodline, and that this Italian ancestor influenced her physical appearance, despite being less than 1/32 of her overall ancestry, and being wholly undocumented, than the alternative, which is that you are as wrong about this as about everything else.
Hey Follers, do you have another source for Charles William Rudolph Duerre, the German ancestor?
I traced Emma Watson’s “Duerre” line using geni.com and public member trees.
http://www.geni.com/search?search_type=people&names=Freda+Watson+%28nee+Duerre%29
Emma’s grandmother, Freda (Duerre), was the daughter of Frederic E. Duerre and Susannah M. Pannell. Frederic was the son of Ernest Frederick Duerre and Ellen Emma Soul. Ernest was the son of Charles William Rudolph Duerre and Emma Reed. Charles, who was born in Prussia, was the son of Carl Gottlieb Durre and Amalie Carolina.
You can search for all of these names at the Geni.com website link above, or for all the names starting with Emma’s great-grandfather, at the public member trees link, below.
The surname “Duerre” is not English. Its only origin, even if in a somewhat differently spelled form, is German. The name is even part of Emma’s full name, and many women named “Emma” appear on that side of her family tree (as you can see).
The German (Prussian) origins of this family are also discussed here (http://genforum.genealogy.com/duerre/messages/8.html). The Ada Sleina Duerre mentioned there was the sister of Ernest Frederick Duerre.
