“CORRECTION’ Irish, Scottish, English, and Algonquian Native American
Before I event start on this, I’ll need the fractions.
ask madman
Mark Ruffalo is at least 1/8192 Irish. One Irish 11th great-grandfather that @Madman mentioned. http://www.nosorigines.qc.ca/genealogy_canada_pedigree.aspx?pid=1462620&lng=fr&name=Clyde_Hebert @Follers, to save you some time click on this family tree of Mark’s maternal grandfather. Since it only goes back four generations a page click on Hyacinthe Lefebvre (Clyde’s 2nd great grandfather) and then Charles Lecompte (Lefebvre’s 2nd great grandfather) and there you will see Thecle-Cornelieus Aubry.
1/8192? I’m not sure I even list 1/8192s. I think I tried to draw the line at 1/4096, though that seems kind of lax, too.
if someone is able to spot a non-French ancestor in his French-Canadian side, under the 1/1024 soil, it has to be included. Just that.
So the other ethnicities shouldn’t be added?
If you want the fractions, the genealogy is right there.
