Jennifer Love Hewitt is an American actress, singer, songwriter, producer, and director. Her roles include the I Know What You Did Last Summer films, Can’t Hardly Wait, and Heartbreakers, and the series Party of Five and Ghost Whisperer.
Jennifer is the daughter of Patricia Mae and Herbert Daniel Hewitt. She was raised in Nolanville in Central Texas. She is married to actor Brian Hallisay, with whom she has three children.
Jennifer’s documented ancestry includes English, Scottish, German, and remote French.
On an Instagram live feed on March 9, 2018, Jennifer said that she also has Dutch and Native American ancestry. It is not clear if Jennifer’s Native American ancestry has been verified/documented. All of Jennifer’s grandparents and great-grandparents are listed as “White” on United States Censuses. It is not clear if Jennifer has Dutch ancestry either.
Jennifer is sometimes described on the internet as being of Italian descent. This is not accurate.
Jennifer’s paternal grandfather was Herbert James Hewitt (the son of Herbert/Bert Edward Hewitt and Pearl Beard). Jennifer’s grandfather Herbert was born in Texas. Jennifer’s great-grandfather Herbert was born in Manchester, England, the son of Benjamin F. Hewitt and Levina Clowe. Pearl was the daughter of James Rose Beard and Temperance Lottie Hobbs.
Jennifer’s paternal grandmother was Mary Elizabeth Ogle (the daughter of Daniel/Dan E. Ogle and Etta M. Patterson). Mary Elizabeth was born in Mississippi. Daniel was the son of William Ogle and Ida P. Davis. Etta was the daughter of Henry C. Patterson.
Jennifer’s maternal grandfather was Lemuel Houston Shipp (the son of Solomon David “Pete” Shipp and Donna/Dona Mae Jones). Lemuel was born in Texas. Solomon was the son of William A. Shipp and Bertha Lee Durst.
Jennifer’s maternal grandmother was Charlotte/Charloette Grace/Brace Weagley (the daughter of Omer/Homer/Omar Frederick Weagley and Lula Grace Kendall). Charlotte was born in Maryland. Omer was the son of William F. Weagley and Ida M. Kinsel. Lula was the daughter of William Wesley Kendall and Martha Alice Kuhn.

correction; her eyes are hazel (light brown) and her hair is dark brown (brunette) I think it should be listed
this family tree is false and some ancestors are wrong for example Jacob Kinsel is not the son of Anna Maria Kuhns and John Kinsel he is the son of Salome Heckman and Joseph Kinsel and he was never married to Sara Ann Burkhart.This family tree is false like some other Jennifer Love Hewitt family tree where it was stated that among her ancestors are Henry Percy, 2nd Earl of Northumberland, Ralph de Neville, 1st Earl of Westmorland,Elizabeth de Mortimer and others.She is obviously of English and possible Scottish ancestry.Just take a look at her she looks very English.
The family tree may be false at that level, I don’t know (I didn’t create it). But if “Jacob Kinsel is not the son of Anna Maria Kuhns and John Kinsel he is the son of Salome Heckman and Joseph Kinsel”, that would still mean Jennifer has German ancestry.
That is my family tree. I have removed the info in question until I can further check my sources. Sometimes you get bad info and if is, so be it and it will be corrected. It is not intentionally “false”. Jennifer is my 5th cousin through her mom’s father.
More specifically the Rootsweb trees in the original article are mine, that you are referring to.
Ugh typos…wish this thing had an edit feature but the *first* link is mine…
More evidence that the English/German/Scotch-Irish mix produces the hottest women on the planet. Wow!!! A woman cannot get hotter than our JLH and she still has the rockin’ body of a hottie. The boobs are German, the eyes could be the remote French, and the cute femininity is totally south Texas.
JLH, we will always love you, unless you get fat again.
I thought she had Italian ancestry too…?
Internet mistake. She is a WASP.
She has brown (not black) hair and light brown eyes and
not very tunned skin. What is here “dark”? Compare with
Penelope Cruise and Antonia Banderas.
There are many german, dutch and polish women like her
It’s Penelope CRUZ, and her natural skin color is not tan.

Maybe Penelope uses a sun bed, too. But she has black
hair and dark brown eyes. To Banderas – maybe his dad
is a bit arab? Their name is Bandera, they
added a spain end “-s”
Black hair and dark eyes is not uncommon in Mediterranean countries, UK and Ireland, even in Germany or Holland (look at Famke Janssen). If Penelope Cruz and Banderas were British would be considered white.
they are “white”, but since this is an American site there are many persons confused about European people.
Penelope Cruz has brown eyes not particularly dark

not sure which is her natural hair color..more dark brown than black
Banderas is Antonio’s maternal surname, he chose it as stage name maybe coz his paternal last name Dominguez is too common in Spain (the same happened to the forme r Spanish PM Zapatero whose paternal surname is Rodriguez).
For what I know Arabs were espelled from Iberian Peninsula in 1492 (as the Jews) and he is Catholic
Since “arabs were espelled”, began a mass imigration after WW2. Plenty of european women
have children with arabs and other immigrants.
Especially if a girl isn’t slim, it’s difficult for her to
find an european partner (In didn’t mean Antony’s
mum, I ment in general)
Bandera is Spanish for “flag” and comes from Latin “bandus” (where even english “band” word comes from), Banderas is plural form.
There’s no relation with Arab language
O’k. I can’t explain, why smb changed his name
from Bandera to Banderas. Is it more beautiful?
