Gaia is the daughter of Catherine and Alain Weiss. She has said that she is of Jewish heritage. Her mother is from a family of Polish, as well as Russian and Lithuanian, origin. It is likely that Gaia’s father is Jewish. Her family is pictured here. Gaia was raised in France, Poland, and England.
Gaia speaks fluent Polish and Hebrew.
Gaia’s paternal grandfather was named Jean-Michel Weiss. Jean-Michel was from Alsatia, to a Jewish family. He fought in the French Resistance during WWII.

Gaia’s maternal grandmother was Barbara Urszula Koraszewska (the daughter of Zbigniew Jan Koraszewski and Maria Jasińska). Barbara was born in Bydgoszcz, Bydgoszcz County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland. Zbigniew was the son of Jan Koraszewski and Maria Szerauc/Sherautz. Gaia’s great-grandmother Maria was born in Kharkiv, Kharkiv Oblast, Ukraine, the daughter of Konstanty Jasiński and Waleria Łuczak.

According to previous comments here based on sources from her Wikipdeia:
Can you at least add the words “from a Jewish famiy” into the sentence ‘Gaia’s paternal grandfather was named Jean-Michel Weiss. Jean-Michel was from Alsatia.’ in this profile up above?
Also, add (at least quarter) in the Ethnicity: Ashkenazi Jewish ()
Also, add “(at least quarter)” in the Ethnicity:
*father Ashkenazi Jewish -> and then right after this in parentheses-> (at least quarter)
Because we know nothing about her paternal grandmother (that missing 4th(/4) grandparent, on her EthniCelebe profile).
Cheers.
Fixed my reply:
>>>>>>>>>>>
Also, add “(at least half)” in the Ethnicity:
*father Ashkenazi Jewish -> and then right after this in parentheses-> (at least half)
Because we know nothing about her paternal grandmother (that missing 4th(/4) grandparent, on her EthniCelebe profile).
Cheers.
Gaia Weiss is fluent in Hebrew, so maybe change that exclusively to ‘Ashkenazi Jewish’ instead of ‘possibly German’.
See her Wikipedia’s bio:
>She also speaks fluent Polish[7] and Hebrew[8].
Also, the video of hers speaking Hebrew:

I’m not so sure that she’s Jewish. Her mother’s ancestry isn’t.
She is.
She has stated “Je viens d’une famille juive polonaise”.

I would split into:
* Ashkenazi Jewish(father)
* Polish, Russian (mother)
I doubt her mother has Lithuanian ancestors.
i actually enjoy to assit you guys, follers and andrew.
thanks for your taking the time and considering my suggetions
(also, see the newest reply on Stallone)
The articles on Stallone aren’t new. One of them is already cited in the text. I e-mailed the French one a long time ago, and they didn’t know anything I didn’t. I don’t know where they got the Yiddish thing from.
