I want to submit a celeb, but unfortunately I can’t seem to find my original source, so perhaps someone else might be able to.
I’d like to see PGA star Brooks Koepka added. I’d read somewhere that that his grandfather or something was from Croatia, and thus he was eligble to play for them in the Olympics or something. I’d also be interested in whether his father is entirely of Croatian descent.
This is his great-uncle:

Therefore, Brooks paternal grandfather was the son of William H. Koepka and Nina Viola Edgar. William was born in Pennsylvania, to German parents. Nina was Canadian.
So then maybe still Croatian (or maybe Polish?). Koepka is definitely a Slavic name; it’s not an ethnic German name so I suspect if the first immigrant came from Germany, it was one of the parts at the time with ethnic minorities ruled by the Germans.
Anyway, looks like his dad definitely isn’t even full whatever-it-is.
Croatian, no (at least from that side). Koepka is a Polish surname.
William was the son of August Koepka and Augusta Holtz. Censuses lists them both as German-speakers. I think that William was of mostly German descent, but that he might have a Polish ancestor further down the line.
Can someone check the Cohen lineage of First Lady Michelle Obama? I am very curious to know if she has any Jewish ancestry. thanks

please confirm Karl Franz Gebhardt. he is German, Polish, and most likely Jewish being Gebhardt is a distinctly Jewish name. also Leonard WIlliams, please
Just a suggestion, but I think it’d be really helpful that when someone is added to a site that there be a requirement that you need to include at least a sentence describing what they are famous for. It’s not really enough to say that someone is a actor, singer, etc. It’d be nice to include what they are most famous for and that could be done in a single sentence.
That’s what Wikipedia is for. And many people have that sentence if there’s a certain thing that sticks out in their career.

Thanks, ethnic.
