She is the daughter of Judith Newcomb Stiles and John O’Hara. She is married to camera assistant Preston J. Cook, with whom she has three children.
Julia is sometimes described in internet, and other, sources, as having Italian ancestry on her mother’s side. It is fairly certain that Julia’s mother is not of Italian descent. It is not clear if Julia has any Italian ancestry on her father’s side.
Julia’s paternal grandfather was named John Joseph O’Hara. John was born in New York.
Julia’s paternal grandmother was Ethel Harriette/Harriet Kayser (the daughter of Charles Christian Kayser, Jr. and Catharine Mary Joseph Barrett). Ethel was born in Jersey City, New Jersey. Charles was the son of German emigrants, Carl/Charles Christian/Christ Kayser/Kaiser, from Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, and Elizabetha/Elizabeth/Elisabetha Schaefer, from Evangelisch, Bavaria. Catharine was the daughter of Irish emigrants, William Barrett and Catherine/Katie McCarthy.
Julia’s maternal grandfather was Meredith Newcomb Stiles, Jr. (the son of Meredith Newcomb Stiles and Katherine Elizabeth Toof). Julia’s grandfather Meredith was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to American parents, of Colonial American (English) ancestry. Julia’s great-grandfather Meredith was a journalist, and was the son of William Curtis Stiles and Mary Allen Arey Newcomb. Katherine was the daughter of Franklin Pierce Toof and Mary Isabelle White.
Julia’s maternal grandmother was Ruth “Randy” Hunsaker (the daughter of Albert Hunsaker and Dorothea/Dorothy E. Deroner). Ruth was born in New York, and had German and English ancestry. The Hunsaker and Deroner families in Pennsylvania originate in Germany. Ruth’s parents, as well as her maternal grandparents, William E. Deroner and Katie E. Seagreaves, were all born in Pennsylvania. William’s parents were Moses U. Deroner and Amanda Fink. Katie’s parents were William Hamilton Seagreaves and Annie E. Weaver.

She has native american ancestry. You can tell easily by her eyes.
Most White people have brown eyes because they’re the most common eye color in the world.
she the kind of person who you think is ugly at first but then when you keep looking at her you think “hey, she’s kinda cute”
Surely you can have brown eyes and be German/Irish. They’re the most common eye color in the world so you should expect dark eyes anywhere.
The fact is that she’s very light skinned, thin lipped and blonde – typical Nordic looking.
And I did stop when you asked me to but you came back and started up again. What a cheek you have to question my nationality.
What the hell are you on? You are the one bating. You are one rude, arrogant person and you are a coward.
Thanks. He is just making me so mad. I’ll take that word out.
None of my comments are going through. Why is that?
I don’t know how you can keep so calm follers. I’ve never been so mad with anyone on this site. Thanks for your patience. I should not let myself get involved in discussions with people that deliberately bate you. Imagine someone arguing with you about your nationality? I could use a few choice words but I’ll use some self control. It’s 5am here and I should have had some sense to get some sleep. Grrrh.
I think everyone can see who the Troll is here.
So it’s okay for you to state as fact that Julia Stiles has some non-European ancestry but not okay for someone to disagree when there is absolutely no proof that she has. What right did you have to get personal with me and accuse me of lying and bold face tell me that I’m not what I say I am. If you look back on the comments you can see where this got nasty.
Thanks ethnic and follers. I’ve just had a look and see Ryan has been banned. I shouldn’t have got sucked in to that sort of tit-for-tat discussion but when he accused me of being a troll and saying I wasn’t who I said I was I just saw red. I won’t let myself be drawn in to that type of exchange again. I can’t believe how angry I got. You live and learn though. I’m very impressed with how cool follers was.
Y’all did gang-up on him like a couple of hyenas. Flat out shut him down. It was wrong of him to create another account, but I can see why he did. Whether you believe those DNA tests to be legitimate or pure boloney, it is what it is, and nothing you can say can change that. Bullies the lot of you………
This is the last I’m going to say on the subject.
He was accusing me of what he was doing. He called me a troll and called me a creep and said I wasn’t the nationality that I am. I agree I should have stopped responding and was drawn in to an exchange that wasn’t very nice. I have my opinions but I don’t have any agendas and I don’t like to be called a liar when I was completely honest. I just didn’t agree with his opinion. I think he was the one doing the bullying.
That’s all nice and good. But I think the reason he was banned was for creating another account and stating that the average white American has Native. Which is not his opinion. He did not come up with those DNA tests. What kind of reaction did you expect when you call someone a liar? Yes, you called him a liar first.
Anyways, I’d like to apologize to ethnic. These couple of months have been hard for me. Been under a lot of stress. I apologize for jumping to conclusions. I realize that it must be quite stressful running a site an ethnic site at that. You’re not responsible for what people say, but I hope you moderate a bit more and keep this place enjoyable.
I don’t know why he was banned. I’m just explaining what he did to me. I disagreed with his suggestion that Julia Stiles looks were due to NA influence. I showed some genetic studies that stated that North Europeans including Britain & Ireland (better not call it the British Isles) shared some ancestry with NA populations. He didn’t like that and accused me of not being Irish. I’m not particularly worried about Americans having NA influence. I said that Americans would be pleased to have NA ancestry. I also stated that genetics might not be perfected and some results could be inaccurate. I attached a blog about people discussing errors in their dna results.
I didn’t call him a liar I only disagreed with him. I was very pleasant with him but he is the one who got more aggressive. He called me a liar and said I was a troll and wasn’t Irish. That’s when I got angry. He obviously thought I had an agenda and wasn’t who I said I was. He is the one who started with the insults.
I agree with your last comment Lotus. Nothing personal. I hope your life get more stress free.
Thank you and agree with most of your points.
Cheers
