I confirm that her father has Scottish and German ancestry. However, I believe he is more Irish than German. To begin, the Anderson lineage that is listed leads back to Glasgow, Scotland (along with other lineages in her tree that go back to Scotland). The last Anderson listed in the profile was Ila Vertna Anderson (1884-1962) Texas, so I will start with her. Daughter of John Ervin Anderson (1850) Texas, and Angeline Stinnett (1855), Arkansas. John was the son of William Gowan Anderson and Elizabeth Ann Matlock. William the son of William Pickney Anderson, the son of John Aldridge Anderson, who was the son of James Anderson from Glasgow, Scotland.
As for the Irish ancestor Mary Eula Corbitt (1894-1980) was the daughter of Ira Thomas Corbitt and Mary Ann Brown. Ira was the son of Lewis Jack Corbitt (1833), who was Irish, and Laurette C. Newsmith, who was of Irish heritage.
