Obituary of Kiana’s maternal grandmother, Nancy D. Green – http://www.legacy.com
*Kiana’s maternal grandmother was named Nancy Dale Green (the daughter of Robert Norman and Norma Berg). Nancy was born in New Jersey.
Norma might be the daughter of Theodore Berg and Olga Olsen, who were of Swedish and Norwegian descent, and that’s in line with Kiana saying she’s of Swedish descent. Also, Theodore and Olga had a daughter Edna whose married name was O’Shea, and according to Nancy’s obituary, her uncle (presumably Edna’s husband) was William O’Shea.
Kiana’s maternal grandfather might have the last name Rodriguez, since Nancy also went by that last name.
Was Nancy’s surname Norman? If not, where did Green come from?
I guess a second husband.
According to this she went by Norman, Rodriguez and Green:
