Andrew, I figured out Gerber’s mother’s ancestry.
Off topic question follers, but will we find out this weekend if John Stamos is 1/8th Ashkenazi Jewish or 1/8th ethnic eastern european?
No. We’ll likely just delve into his father’s Greek ancestry.
I think it’s entirely possible that it would be impossible to know Stamos’ great-grandfather’s ancestry from existing U.S. records, only from a DNA test.
Since his great-grandfather listed his language as “Russian”, but was almost certainly not an ethnic Russian from Riga, Latvia, I think it’s very likely he was Jewish. In my experience, ethnic Germans would have listed their language as “German”.

Rande’s mom is Ellen Peckman
Harry and Sophie weren’t born in Sweden. “Peckman” is a re-marriage surname.
Geni.com is evidently wrong
