    Any idea of the type (idk the proper term) of Indian she is? Like Gujarati, Punjabi, Telugu?

      Singh is the most common last name in India. Her father is from Uttar Pradesh, which is mostly Hindu, but I don’t know if he’s Hindu himself. I doubt they’re of South Indian descent.

    Her maternal grandmother was likely Maria Anna Karatiola. She was naturalised in 1965. She was previously a German citizen. A certain Wilhelm Karatiola died in Nottingham and was likely related to Maria (possibly her father).
