I’m Irish, English, and French. People always think I’m a lot of different nationalities though which I think is pretty cool :)
Oddly, Miranda did not mention her one eighth Mexican ancestry. Miranda’s maternal grandfather’s mother, Mary Castimello/Costano/Coseton, was born in Mexico, as were Mary’s parents. The spelling of Mary’s surname varies from record to record.

Miranda’s maternal grandfather was William Frank Casey (the son of William John Casey and Mary Cecilia Castimello/Costano/Coseton). Miranda’s grandfather William was born in California. Miranda’s great-grandfather William was Irish, born in Brosna, County Kerry. Miranda’s great-grandmother Mary was Mexican, born in Juárez, Chihuahua.

Miranda’s maternal grandmother was Lois Ann Core (the daughter of Robert Herman Core and Ida Marie Bishir/Bishop). Lois was born in Oklahoma. Robert was the son of John W. Core and Birdie Harrell. Ida was the daughter of John Bunyan Bishir/Bishop and Effie I. Jones. A picture of Miranda’s maternal grandmother can be seen here.
Miranda’s distant Bishir ancestors were Alsatian German.

I read what her mom is Russian, Armenian and Italian and dad is Irish and Welsh.
But i also saw what she’s also part Czech.
She used to claim she was Russian and ”Slavic” which implies she has another Slavic ancestry too. I am going to guess she means something like Slovak or something like that.
She looks Slavic more than Italian, Armenian and Welsh certainly. Well, she also looks like this Kazakh singer too, though she is not of Kazakh origin.
She’s stunning! And a really good actress. I see her sticking around for a very long time!
can someone change the picture to her age right now,which is 18,not this pic of her when she was like 12 or something.and a picture of her that shows her face or something since its an ethnicity site,its better to see the face when looking at someones ethnicity not this whole body shot,idk.
i never knew that she was armenian. cool. i always wondered what she was mixed with
