PewDiePie is a Swedish YouTuber, comedian, and gamer commentator.
He is the son of Lotta Kristine Johanna, a prominent CIO, and Ulf Christian Kjellberg, a corporate executive. He is married to Italian internet personality Marzia Kjellberg (CutiePieMarzia), with whom he has a son. The couple lives in Japan.
A 23andMe DNA test whose results PewDiePie displayed on YouTube stated that his genetic ancestry is:
*100% Scandinavian
PewDiePie’s patrilineal ancestry can be traced to his fourth great-grandfather, Jonas Larsson (1 January, 1806 – 18 May, 1850, Västerlanda, Västra Götaland).
PewDiePie’s paternal grandfather was Leif Lennart Kjellberg (the son of Jakob Karl Georg Kjellberg and Göta Henrietta Eriksson). Leif was born in Gamlestaden, Gothenburg. Jakob was the son of Karl Hjalmar Kjellberg and Annie Alida Larsson. Göta was the daughter of John Leonard Eriksson and Elin Charlotta Lundgren.
PewDiePie’s paternal grandmother is Ulla Dahl (the daughter of Hugo Vilhelm, later Wilhelm, Dahl and Anna Holmberg). Ulla was born in Gamlestaden, Gothenburg. Hugo was the son of August Dahl and Paulina Bengtsson. Anna was the daughter of Carl (later Karl) Johansson Holmberg and Ida Maria Andreasdotter.
PewDiePie’s maternal grandfather was Åke Arvid Hellstrand (the son of Arvid Hellstrand and Sally Henrietta Andrén). Åke was born in Göteborgs Vasa. PewDiePie’s great-grandfather Arvid was the son of August Hellstrand and Maria Strand. Sally was the daughter of Oskar Emanuel Andrén and Anna Fredrika Andrietta Winbo. Anna was a foundling, and was later put into the foster care of Andreas Peter Svensson and Johanna Svensdotter. A picture of PewDiePie’s grandfather can be seen here.
PewDiePie’s maternal grandmother was Ingrid Vera Birgitta Johansson (the daughter of Knut Albert Johansson and Vera Dagmar Olsson). Knut was the son of Albert Johansson and Amanda Gustafva Millberg. PewDiePie’s great-grandmother Vera was the daughter of Elof Olsson and Ada Theresia Johansdotter. PewDiePie’s great-grandparents were originally surnamed Johansson, but were later renamed Jaremark.
PewDiePie’s matrilineal ancestry can be traced back to his sixth great-grandmother, Ingrid Andersdotter (died August 1772, Älmeboda, Kronoberg).

I have found Johanna’s post about her mother: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152748675767882&set=a.421193467881.201975.730217881&type=3&theater
One of the Facebook users who commented on her photo called her Birgitta. Therefore, Johanna’s maiden surname is Hellstrand.
Also, I have found a family picture further supporting the evidence that Johanna’s mother is Birgitta: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=5454130907&set=a.4652690907.6355.722730907&type=3&theater
The third one from the left is likely Felix’s paternal grandmother, Vera. I am not sure if this is her public record: https://www.merinfo.se/person/H%C3%A4gersten/Vera-Margareta-Kjellberg-1929/bhgfa-74w0

Here’s the picture of Felix’s maternal grandfather: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10154700967705908&set=pb.722730907.-2207520000.1513566339.&type=3&size=720%2C960
I know the meaning of “gammelmormor” in the picture, it means “great-grandmother”. So, remove Felix’s paternal grandmother’s name.
Nordic men are so unattractive.
Actually, the more north you go in Europe the more unattractive the men will look (not the women, btw).
The fact that you’re generalizing and stereotyping the appearance of scandinavian men just proves you don’t even know what you’re talking about lol.
Also, most women are not even attractive at all without makeup, hence why so many even begin wearing it in the first place.
Men, on the other hand, are naturally better looking on average because they don’t fake their beauty to the extent women do.
Every white man is attractive and desirable. I’m curious to know if you are a man, from a non-white country or not…
The Nordic is very obvious, he fits perfectly in any of the Scandinavian countries.
well he is swedish after all..
On the pewdiepie wiki it says he has ancestors from Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands, Germany and Poland.
Are you sure?
Maybe possible right now because Felix’s great-great-grandmother, Anna Fredrika Andrietta Winbo, was an abandoned child. But, let’s see if these ancestries can be proved through her lineage.

Note: Her name is not Janne because it is Johanna’s uncle on the left side of the picture. Janne is a Swedish masculine name.
