She has also been credited as Ashley O, the name of her Black Mirror character, and Miley Ray Hemsworth, while married to actor Liam Hemsworth.
Miley’s mother was adopted, as she has stated.
Several family trees indicate that the Cyrus surname was spelled Siers many generations back. Most or all of Miley’s father’s ancestors since the start of the 1800s were born in the United States. Much of her father’s ancestry is English, along with Scottish, Irish, and Welsh.

Miley’s paternal grandfather was Ronald Ray Cyrus (the son of The Rev. Eldon Lindsey/Lindsay Cyrus and Verlina Adeline Hay). Ronald was born in Kentucky. He was a member of the Kentucky House of Representatives, from 1975 to 1996, and Executive Secretary and Treasurer of the Kentucky AFL-CIO, from 1984 to 1986. The Rev. Eldon was a Pentecostal preacher, and was the son of Joseph Morgan Cyrus and Sarah Elvessa Hayes. Verlina was the daughter of Martin Alexander Hay and Mary Jane Hayes.
Miley’s paternal grandmother is Ruth Ann Casto (the daughter of William Clayton Casto and Mary Guila/Guilla Boggs). Ruth was born in Kentucky. William was the son of Joseph C./Johnsey Casto and Josie E. Johnson. Mary was the daughter of Clement Alexander Boggs and Leora Olive McAtee.
Miley’s adoptive maternal grandfather was Glenmore Finley (the son of Benjamin Harrison Finley and Ada Cornett). Glenmore was born in Kentucky. Benjamin was the son of John Patton Finley and Nancy Louisa Berry.
Miley’s adoptive maternal grandmother was Loretta Jean Palmer (the daughter of Neville Hardy Palmer and Nellie Burch Howard). Loretta was born in Kentucky. Neville was the son of Andrew Jackson Palmer and Fannie Pink Woolum. Nellie was the daughter of Adren/Adron D. Howard and Fronie/Frony Hill.

Her mother is still alive,her name is Leticia Cyrus.Miley Cyrus’s caracter Hannah Montana lost her mother not Miley Cyrus.
Lmao princess is probably 12 years old. The girl looks like her mother big as wierd blue eyes face shape and all!
i think that she has alot of native american in her father does look like he is part indian i think miley is about 25% native american like me my grand parents on my mother side were both half native american indian from the cherokee side and i am also afro american
Miley Cyrus’s father and mother are from the Huntington, WV tri-state metropolitan statistical area of Ashland, Kentucky, Ironton Ohio, and Huntington, WV. The only reason she is from Tennessee is because her parents moved their shortly before her birth from Kentucky. She does in fact have a small percentage of Cherokee Indian blood, I am from her parents hometown and I am also a distant cousin and I know her first cousin and uncle. While her ancestry must be traced back prior to 1800 to find it’s old world origins, as mine is the same, all my ancestors have been in america since before the American Revolution, the same as hers. To state her true ethnic background, it is Kentuckian first and foremost, but for those of you who wish to know what it is beyond that description, she is English, Irish, Scottish, Dutch, with very small amounts each of American Indian, African American, Iberian, Italian and Portuguese.
Rabco thanks for the message. Id like to see some evidence of the African American, Iberian, Italian and Portuguese heritage.
To Ethnic
Sounds to me like Rabco is saying she’s part of the Melungeon people of Kentucky..I don’t think they are going to take any more DNA test,the few test they have taken came out very disappointing for them.Much to their dismay,the black blood was still there
Hey Fuzzybear, yeh the Melungeon people are interesting. There must be many of their descendants around the US who dont even know of there heritage.
To Ethnic
Hey man,How you been?Anyhow I think they always knew,but they like to pretend otherwise.Also from what I can see there were over 200 different groups of them(with a variety of different names).Also they go out of their way to marry white,so yes they have a lot of descendants around the U.S
miley i never african american, you would see it in her, or her sister or brother,and her parents too doesnt look african, it seems like a joke when someone says that miley should be african american…

How would you know?After everything that has been seen on here.I’m not saying she is,I’m just saying lack of visible traits doesn’t mean a bloodline not there Look at this man:
Walter white

do you see it in him?What about this guy:
Rodrigo Hilbert Albertoni

This man here:

What about this family here?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01437/rainbow_1437634c.jpg
All I’m is traits don’t always present themselves,so many times,you wouldn’t be able to tell
mileys mum is scottish,irish,english,french and her lastname is finley, how could she be african ? and by the way she is a blonde with blue eyes, and mileys dad is dutch and cherokee indian, right ? how could he be african, and i saw mileys grandparents in a magazine,theyre to dont look african, if she should be african she could be a littlleeeee bit from far away, because when you really could call her african, you would see it in her,her parents,her grandparents, its seems ike you people always want that these american stars are of every ethnity,how could someone think shes african,shes not everything
To juli22
Like I said,I’m not saying she has any recent heritage,all I’m saying is if she does,many times you wouldn’t know.See your refusing to see my examples,traits come and go over time.Take Don Cheadle here,19% white,yet do you see it in him?:
http://www.101celebrities.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/don-cheadle.jpg
blond with blue eyes don’t mean very much.
Rodrigo Hilbert Albertoni is blond:
http://www.artenocorpo.com/sites/www.artenocorpo.com/files/A%20tatuagem%20do%20Rodrigo%20Hilbert1.jpg
He’s blond and yet still part black.Cherokee indians were so mixed blooded(with black and white)that there were hardly any pure blood left by the 1900’s.Also what seems to be unknown to you guys,is that mixed black people cross over into white world big time in the past(thousands and thounsands of them,just within the last 50yrs alone)Example George Herriman:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Herriman
Everyone of these(scottish,irish,english,french)are countries.It doesn’t tell you what a persons ancestors look like.Also what’s a name?You guys have to open your eyes,your own DNA experts are telling you that at least 74million white American have recent black heritage,and this is not counting kids.
Now despite what you want to believe,I could care less about what her background is.I not trying to claim her.I am simply letting you people in on something that you obviously have not been taught.I mean I have older half siblings,who are very high toned(just under white).Who are married to white people,and yes I do have little white nieces and nephews;so I know what I’m talking about
and Welsh
Just because someone claims it doesn’t mean they are, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t either. I look white but my great-grandmother was 24% Native American….so yea I don’t think it really matters though does it?? If someone says they’re that take their word for it!!!
You look white because you ARE white. If your g grandmother was 1/4 native, that makes you 1/32 native american, which is below 5% native, which explains why you “look” white. Your white with tiny drops of native. just like miley. :)
@Bri
Shouldn’t that person be 1/16,then that would make him 6%.Also you can’t let the way we measure numbers fool you,6% is alot when it comes to DNA.Also as a certain person said on here before,just 2% keeps us from being apes
