correction; her eyes are grey and her hair is dyed dark/sandy blonde and is naturally dark brown (brunette) i think it should be listed
OK.
Sarah’s ethnicity is German, English, and Russian.
Where have you found “russian” ancestry?
There are no evidences, that some russian peasants
undermarried in her father’s family, even if you
want it. Smb. mentioned correct, if jews married
non-jews, they converted to christs and not
inverse
Bob Dylan for example
in 19 century even Waltz wouldn’t marry into a jewish family and convert to judaism
What should I do, to bring you to believe, that
I’m not Marc?
You have no idea what you are talking about.
?
