Instead of an “athlete” section, can we break it down into sections e.g. MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, etc?
Also F1, Tennis etc would be nice.
It’s back!

Might as well just make every French-Canadian-tag with a – between the words.
He’s not really French-Canadian though, as there’s no recorded Sam Delamere living in Canada at that time. Though, there is a Sam Delamere who lived in Ireland but I’m not sure if that was another Sam Delamere who lived at the same time as the “french-canadian” Sam Delamere.
Also, I’m sorry I f’ed up the fractions on his ancestors. (I’m not good with fractions.) I also have more info on Cliff Curtis. Should I just post the description in the comment or… through submit a celeb) thanks -comrade (just a genealogy nerd).
I guess your comment refers to Taika Waititi’s page. This is the feedback section for the website, my comment was only adressing that this tag is repeatedly spelled in two different ways when something is edited, creating two tags where there should be one.
Hmmm… so do you think Sam Delamere is a rumour? Or was he of a different nationality? Have you looked through Canadian censuses or read something from someone who has? Because using the site that I often use for that, familysearch.com, I wouldn’t expect to find him that early.
You can post any information in the comment section if the celebrity already has a page. If they don’t, you can submit it through “Submit a celeb”!
If you have access to genealogy information about New Zealanders, do you have anything on the Flight of the Conchords-guys? I’m very curious about their background.
“my comment was only adressing that this tag is repeatedly spelled in two different ways when something is edited, creating two tags where there should be one.” sorry, my mistake…
I think Sam Delamere was real but his nationality isn’t French-Canadian. I think Sam* Delamere originated from Ireland/UK, traveled to Canada’s West Coast to be a whaler and then ended up in New Zealand for the whaling business. His ancestors probably thought he was french as De La Mer (meaning ‘from the sea’) is also a french name. But when it’s spelled Delamere it could actually be a Norman/British-Isles name. It seems to be quite common near Dublin, Ireland and Cheshire, England.
*Samuel (Sam) is also more of an anglo name, it’s not that common among french speakers.
So that makes me think Sam Delamere might have been Anglo/Irish. But I could be wrong, maybe he was a french speaker, after all and when asked where he came from he just said “de la mer” (from the sea) because he was a whaler.
“do you have anything on the Flight of the Conchords-guys?” i’ll look into it.
Anyone have any clue on what Brenna D’Amico’s ethnicity is? I read somewhere that she’s mixed but I can’t find any confirmation.
She’s part Polish, part Italian, part Scottish and 1/4 Mexican on her maternal grandfather’s side. That’s what I got from a brief search.
Would you mind sharing your source(s)?

Her paternal great-grandmother has a Polish maiden name and Italian married name.
Her maternal grandfather is named Roy Delagarza and he’s of Mexican descent.
This is her great-uncle’s obituary (her maternal grandmother’s brother):

Why can’t some comments be replied to? There is a ridiculous comment posted on the 22nd on this page that needs one, but lo and behold, no direct reply option.
After a certain amount of replies, you can no longer reply. It’s not a big deal, you just reply to the one above.
Write there name and they will see your complaint
Of course we all know the “ridiculous comment posted on the 22nd on this page” so mind saving us your useless rant/response?
I’m guessing it’s mine, but I’m curious about what our new friend has to say about it.
I guess no one likes being reminded that our hero Neil Tennant is gone. but don’t worry madman if anyone criticizes you I got your back, lol ;)
Curious if anyone can find any background information on automotive journalist and Top Gear co-host Chris Harris? I suspect he might have some South Asian ancestry, but have no idea.
I came up short. but have you considered that Harris is a common surname in Jamaica? possibly 3/8ths SSA, or perhaps indo-jamaican. not definitively, just something for consideration.
this is likely his birth record: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QVWL-PRND
parents’ surnames: Harris and Rundle
I’d exclude the South Asian option. Normally in UK families like this one the mother is English and the father is from West Indies.
