Jenna Marbles, born Jenna Nicole Mourey, is an American YouTube personality, vlogger, comedian, and actress.
Her surname is of French origin. She is married to Julien Solomita.
Jenna is a fourth cousin of actors and models Alexandra Daddario and Matthew Daddario, through their third great-grandparents, Luigi D’Addario and Prudenza Mancini.
Jenna’s paternal grandfather was Henri/Henry Alfred Victor Mourey (the son of Alfred Charles Louis Mourey and Clemence M. Guenon). Henri was born in Massachusetts. Jenna’s great-grandfather Alfred was born in Lamont, France, the son of Claude Joseph Mourey and Marie Frelin. Clemence was also French, the daughter of Louis August Guenon and Louise Josephine Borey.
Jenna’s paternal grandmother was Mildred L. Daddario/D’Addario (the daughter of Giacomo/John Daddario/D’Addario and Annuncia Irene Cataldo). Mildred was born in Massachusetts, of Italian descent. Giacomo was born in Ofena, L’Aquila, Abruzzo, Italy, the son of Domenico Daddario and Anna Genditta. Jenna’s great-grandmother Annuncia was the daughter of Amadio Joseph Fiore Cataldo, who was born in Chiusano di San Domenico, Avellino, Campania, Italy, and of Lucia Marra.
Jenna’s maternal grandfather is named John Davis Drummey (the son of William Drummey). William likely was of Irish descent.
Jenna’s maternal grandmother is Genevieve Patricia “Trish” Berghaus (the daughter of Theodore Francis Berghaus and Genevieve Valentine Mahoney). Theodore was the son of Frank J. Berghaus and Anna B. Kraft, who were of German descent, from Baden. Jenna’s great-grandmother Genevieve was the daughter of Peter T. Mahoney and Elizabeth, who were Canadian, and had Irish ancestry.

Giacomo Daddario was the son of Domenico Daddario and Anna Genditta. Annuncia Cataldo was the daughter of Amadio J. Cataldo and Lucia Marra.
I think Domenico Daddario and Antonio D’Addario (ancestor of Alexandra and Matthew Daddario) were brothers (both sons of Luigi D’Addario and Prudenza Mancini), making Jenna and the Daddario siblings, 4th cousins.
D’Addario surname is pretty popular among Italian audience because of an Apulian woman who had a widely press-covered affair with Silvio Berlusconi (-> Patrizia D’Addario).
However as a guitar played I have alwais favoured D’Addario strings (world’s leading manufacturer).
A relation is possible since the D’Addario strings family hails from Abruzzo too: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%27Addario_(manufacturer)

Yeah, I figured they were based on those last names. That would make Jenna largely French, right?
largely? 1/4.
I thought she had French on her mother’s side too because it was listed, lol. I see it’s not so.
