Melanie has a daughter with her fiancé, actor Jason Ritter.
Melanie’s paternal grandfather was Desmond Patrick Lynskey (the son of Patrick Edward Lynskey and Mary Anne/Ann Tobin). Melanie’s great-grandfather Patrick was the son of Michael Lynskey and Ellen Moran, both of County Mayo, Ireland. Mary Anne was the daughter of Margaret Connelly.
Melanie’s paternal grandmother was Shelagh Gold (the daughter of James Frederick Gold and Frost). Shelagh was born in Swindon, Wiltshire, England.
Melanie’s maternal grandfather was named John Hilton Mahoney.
do you provide a source for her ancestors? Thanks.
I missed the sources below being on my smartphone atm. Anyway, why aren’t they worth to be included? Do it.
Her grandfather’s ancestry was on a file that had to be dowloaded, if I recall correctly. That’s why I didn’t link it.

Can you actually tell us all how a pasty woman with her features would be “exotic” for a person with British Isles ancestry?
You are a complete moron and mental-case, and sadly the owner of this site never even bothers to call you out.
You make his site look like a joke with your deranged posts.
