Tristan Lake Leabu is an American actor and musician. He is known for his roles in the films Superman Returns and The F**k-It List and on The Young and the Restless.
He is the son of artist and model Jeff Leabu and the brother of actress Aria Lyric Leabu.
Tristan’s paternal grandfather was the son of Charles Leabu and Irene Isabelle Payne. Charles was the son of Romanian parents, George Leabu and Eva Moian. Irene was the daughter of Charles E. Payne and Alice Fisher, whose maternal grandparents were Swedish.
Tristan’s paternal grandmother is named Linda McMaster (the daughter of Henry J. McMaster and Dolores).
Tristan’s maternal grandfather was Teddy Max/Mack Carter (the son of Onis Britton Carter and Bonnie Jean/Jeane Oats). Onis was the son of Sidney Jackson Carter and Alice Texana Collings. Bonnie was the daughter of Albert Monroe Oats and Birdie Drucella George.
Tristan’s maternal grandmother was Carol Ann Nystel (the daughter of Archie Carlisle Nystel and Eleanor Marie Green). Archie was the son of Joseph Phillip Nystel/Neystel, whose grandparents were all Norwegian, and of Matilda Christine Nelson, who was born in Texas, to a Danish father and a Norwegian mother.

Carol Ann Nystel’s younger siblings’ mother was Louise Gunderson. I can’t find the marriage record of Archie and Eleanor Marie Green, who is listed as Carol’s mother, nor can I find her anywhere else. Anyone having any success? I suspect she might’ve also been of Scandinavian descent.
I think this very likely is Henry McMaster, but I wasn’t sure enough to add it:
