I think I have his maternal side:

Matthew’s maternal grandfather was likely Patrick Enda Fitzpatrick (the son of Peter Fitzpatrick and Mary Ann O’Connell). Patrick was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Irish emigrants.
Matthew’s maternal grandmother is likely Florence Grace Grabowski (the daughter of John Grabowski and Stella Walczak). Florence was born in Pennsylvania. John was born in West Virginia to Polish emigrants, Joseph Grabowski and Stella Shelaga/Shelago. Matthews great-grandmother Stella was the daughter of Anthony Walczak, a Polish emigrant, and Martha Jankowski/Jankowska, the daughter of Polish emigrants.
So, if this is the case, he is half Polish and a quarter Irish.
On the other hand, regarding his paternal grandmother Gloria, on a family tree in MyHeritage. she appears as “Gloria Elizabeth Noszka (born Hauck Vel De La Vega)”. As I am not a member of MyHeritage, I can’t access the tree, I only have a preview. Maybe someone can check this.
This would seem to indicate that Gloria’s father, who apparently was not present in the family, had Spanish ancestry, perhaps from Spain or some Latin American country.
You’re correct about this maternal grandparents.
Many websites state that he also has Spanish ancestry. It seems like it could be correct as well.
Great!!
I hope someone can find something about Gloria’s father, it seems interesting.
