Have you been able to find out who Dorothy Stull was married to? I’m trying to figure out if Zeke’s maternal grandmother Patricia Stull was half white or all white. Looking at his mother, she could be either.
His grandmother is full white. I found an article that said Dawn’s parents divorced when she was little and she went to live with her grandmother (that’s where I found her grandmother’s name). Shaw Huff’s mother is a woman named Kristina (I’m assuming a Finnish woman). Patricia’s father is unknown, she went by Stull (her mother’s last name). She goes by Lee now (married name).
Cool. So then this makes Zeke at least 25% European. I’d personally list his ancestry as saying something like “maternal grandmother (English, German).”
