Jacob Tremblay is a Canadian actor. He is known for starring in the films Room (2015), The Book of Henry (2017), Wonder (2017), and Good Boys (2019), among others. His sisters are actresses Emma Tremblay and Erica Tremblay. His father, Jason Tremblay, has also acted, including appearing as the older sibling on the first episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark?
Jacob’s maternal grandfather is Chilean. A picture of Jacob and his grandfather can be seen here.
Jacob also has French-Canadian, English, Scottish, Northern Irish, Irish, 1/32 Danish, and distant First Nations and German, ancestry. Jacob’s paternal great-great-great-great-great-grandmother, Christine Lavaltrie Tshishereu/Kichera, was Indigenous.
Jacob’s paternal grandfather is Jean-Paul Tremblay (the son of Aldéric Tremblay and Marguerite/Margot Devost). Aldéric was born in Les Escoumins, La Haute-Côte-Nord, Québec, the son of Joseph Tremblay and Marie Blanche Julie/Julia Therrien. Marguerite was born in Trois-Pistoles, Les Basques, Québec, the daughter of Cyprien Devost and Yvette Castonguay.
Jacob’s maternal grandfather is named Jorge Candia. Jorge is from Chile.
Jacob’s maternal grandmother is Karie Still (the daughter of David James Still and Maria Giles). David was the son of James Madill “Jim” Still and Alice Martha Atwood, who was from Wyoming. He had English, Scottish, Northern Irish, and distant German, ancestry. The Still surname comes from Newhills, Aberdeen, Scotland. Alice’s father had deep Colonial American, and Scottish, ancestry, and Alice’s mother was English. Jacob’s great-grandmother Maria was the daughter of English-born parents, William Duncan Giles and Emily Beatrice McCready Mortensen. Emily’s father was Danish and her mother was Irish.

I believe Jacob is 1/32 Irish and 1/32 Danish. David Still (Great-grandfather) was married to Maria Giles (Still) great-grandmother. Maria was the daughter of William Duncan Giles (1913-2009) and Emily Beatrice McCready Mortensen (1915-1973) both from England. Emily was the daughter of Peter Nickoli Mortensen (1876) from Denmark and Emily Beatrice McCready (1877) from Dublin, Ireland.
Possible great-grandfather (if a little young).

So, I guess you got the right man.
That’s his GRANDmother? If I would just see a picture of her, I would think she was her mother if anything.

however Christine Lavaltrie Tshishereu/Kichera was mostly Innu (not fully)
Through his great grandfather Aldric Trembley he has English ancestry as well. He has an ancestor named Genevieve Otis whose father was born in New Hampshire in 1682. Cant be sure, but probably her father was taken in one of the Indian attacks around that area at the time.
