    muricansrallmutts is right

    she doesn’t look english at all; she looks part slav part asian

    sometimes the genealogies and family histories are inaccurate or have intentionally manipulated by the family

    if she took a test, like 23 and me, i am sure muricansrallmutts comment would be vindicated

        muricansrallmutts pays attention to ancient history dating back a few thousand years, those admixture tests only go back several centuries, so their results don’t reflect ancient human migratory patterns that muricansrallmutts cares about so much. I doubt Jenna Coleman is anything but West European.

        • jonasbttencourt says:

          literally all her features scream northwestern european ancestry, you dont have to look like Paul Bettany to be NW euro, damn, Alicia Vikander is even ”darker” looking than her, and there is zero evidence that she is something other than nordic…

        • jonasbttencourt says:

          *something other than northern euro

          she has distant baltic german ancestry, so some slavic or turkic dna is possible, but its a distant ancestry anyway, it would not influence her looks considerably

        • passingtime85 says:

          Alicia Vikander doesn’t have a typical look for people with deep roots in her region of the world. She’s anomalous. Not a great example for comparison.

      • NOTREALLY says:

        Jenna Coleman looks EXTREMELY English, like, she literally looks like epitome English, I spent 3 years in southern England and hers is a VERY common look, you guys (the ones saying otherwise) need to touch grass.

    excuse me, WHAT???

    • jonasbttencourt says:

      Hahhahahah ”she is clearly slav”, ”im european from europe”, ”dont know anything about RACES”, ”LATINO”…Dude, seriusly, are you real? All this hypocrisy, stupidity, and blatant prejudice gotta be just trolling from a bot, if you are an actual person, damn, thats so sad…Im just gonna ignore you from now on, not even clicking on your bizarre name in the ethnicity related discussion seccion of the site,its just not worth it lol

  3. jonasbttencourt says:

    Is she northern english? If so, she must have some scottish and irish in her. Little bit of celtic blood would explain her brown eyes and hair. She can get quite pale but she also has an olive complexion, another evidence of celtic dna.

    • andrew says:

      She may have Irish ancestry on her “Coleman” line, which can be an Irish. She is also from Lancashire where Irish immigration was huge, so it’s possible.

  4. andrew says:

    daughter of Keith A. Coleman and Karen L. Morris

    paternal grandparents: Geoffrey Coleman and Marion Salthouse

    maternal grandparents’s surname are likely Morris and Waddicar
