Post Malone is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, guitarist, and actor. Blending hip hop, pop, R&B, and trap, his songs include “White Iverson,” “Congratulations,” “Rockstar,” “I Fall Apart,” “Psycho,” “Ball for Me,” “Better Now,” “Sunflower,” “Wow,” “Goodbyes,” “Circles,” “Enemies,” “Take What You Want,” “Motley Crew,” “One Right Now,” “Cooped Up,” “I Like You (A Happier Song),” “Chemical,” “I Had Some Help,” “Pour Me a Drink,” “Guy for That,” and, in a featured role, “Fortnight.” He has appeared in the films Spenser Confidential, Wrath of Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, and Road House (2024). He is the first solo lead artist to top both the Rap Airplay and Adult Contemporary charts. He is also known as Young Stoney.
Post was born in Syracuse, New York, to Nicole and Richard Lloyd Post, Jr. He grew up in Grapevine, Dallas, Texas, with his stepmother, Jodie, and father, the manager of concessions for the Dallas Cowboys. Post’s ancestry is English, one quarter Polish, along with a small amount of Scottish, and distant Dutch. Through many of his family lines, he has deep roots in upstate New York, eventually going back to Colonial America in the 1600s. He has stated that he is of part Native American descent. It is not clear if this is accurate.
Post is often asked about his ethnic background and being a “white rapper” with cornrows. He credits his father as the one who introduced him to hip hop with Lean Back by Fat Joe being the first hip hop track he listened to.
Post has a daughter with his fiancée.
Post Malone’s patrilineal line can be traced to Stephen Post, who was born, c. 1804, likely in Orange County, New York.
Post’s paternal grandfather is Richard Lloyd Post (the son of Harold Lloyd Post and Phyllis Marie Copp). Harold was the son of Ira Delbert Post and Bessie E. Reynolds. Phyllis was the daughter of Earl Milford Copp and Anna E. Soper.
Post’s paternal grandmother was Nancy/Nancey Joanne Kocenko (the daughter of John Peter Kocenko and Jennie/Jenny Jean Cieslinski). John was born in Pennsylvania, to Polish parents, John M. Kocenko and Antoinette/Anna B. Jurczak. Jennie was born in Poland, the daughter of Joe Cieslenski.
Post’s maternal grandfather is Joseph Frazier (the son of Nelson C. Frazier and Ethel Maud Cook). Joseph was born in Tompkins, Delaware, New York. Nelson was the son of Nelson Crawford Frazier and Gladys C. Kelsey. Ethel was the daughter of Edward William Cook and Lillian Barbara Hicks, who was born in Page Bank, Durham, England.
Post’s maternal grandmother was Diana D. Hinckley (the daughter of Maurice Erwin Hinckley and Nina M. Lockwood). Diana was born in Walton, Delaware, New York. Maurice was the son of Frank E. Hinckley and Margaret Hannah Grant. Nina was born in Miller’s Hollow, New York, the daughter of John Peter Lockwood and Gertrude Howe.

Hold on, how did you guys came up with Pavettos being his grandparents?
This is his maternal grandmother:

his grandfather is Joseph Frazier
As for the Post side I found this:
https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/pressconnects/obituary.aspx?n=paul-f-hackling&pid=87857173&fhid=7258
I think it’s his grandfather’s step-father obituary.
And that this is his biological great-grandfather:

Yes, that’s right. These are Diana’s parents:

It looks to me like his father was previously married to Stephanie Pavetto. At least in 1992, she had the surname Post. I assumed she was Austin’s mother and that is where I made my error.

His paternal grandmother was named Nancy/Nancey J.
I know, but she could be a step-grandmother. I just don’t know without marriage, census, etc. records.
Pretty much every Frances Russo who was born in New York around 1914 was of entirely Italian descent (the great majority had two Italian parents). So it’s safe to say his mother was of three quarters Italian descent.
“Post” is a Dutch family. Anything about his paternal grandfather’s side?
Harry Albert Browne was the son of George L. Brown and Ella.
George’s parents were from Canada and England. Ella’s parents were from New York and Germany.
I think his paternal grandmother is called Nancy, but I’m not sure.
I believe Post Malone’s great-grandfather Carlo Giovanni Pavetto (1892-1968) was born specifically in Romano Canavese, Torino, Piemonte, Italy.
Yes, his WW1 draft record says Romano, Piemonto. Post should be tagged as Piedmontese.
Thank you for confirming that! Would you happen to know if his (Carlo Giovanni Pavetto’s) wife was born in the same region of Italy?
was she born under the same surname?
Maddalena Pavetto was also born in Romano Canavese and she and Carlo were already married when she arrived to US. Her father, however, is listed as ”John Pavetto”, so her maiden name was quite possibly also Pavetto.
Spouses use to share surnames in small villages. I know a few ones.
Btw what’s his maternal grandma’s background? That Census record does not say much.
“Post” is a Dutch surname. No evidence of English ancestry so far as usual.
