The entire maternal side is wrong. Nita Fuller is not her mother. She married David Tarbush in 1991. Her mother is Valerie Neeley (also went by last name Ybarra, now goes by McGiboney).

Makes sense. The familytreemaker genealogy lists Nita Fuller as her mother, but she would have only been 19. Totally plausible, of course, but not supercommon.
She also has some distant Dutch ancestry, on her paternal line.
Neely is usually Scots-Irish.
I like her voice. She’s attractive in her own sort of way
I would’ve changed that surname too. I could sworn she was of Nordic heritage (and no, ‘Thor’ had nothing to do with that). But I guess the surname was tied to that thinking process.
