    Seems like every celebrity with croatian ancestry has dark brown hair and brown eyes

    Jerry Trainor is pretty much 62.5% Irish from his father and maternal grandfathers father. He is 25% Croatian from his maternal grandmothers side. and 12.5% German from his maternal grandfathers mothers side.
    I would write it out as percentages in his ethnicity but only a suggestion

    His maternal grandparents were Leo Matthew McNeely Jr. (1920-2006) and Eva Madelyn Petricevic (1920-2015), the daughter of Austrian born parents Paul Petricevic and Vicotria Ruzek. I am guessing some Czeck and Slovak on his maternal grandmothers side of his family.
