I think he has German ancestry.
How come?
I thought his mother’s maiden name sounded German when I heard it on CMT. I could easily be wrong though.
What is his mother’s maiden name? I didn’t find it when researching his ancestry.
Can’t remember… CMT said what Amy Hubbard’s Maiden name was on a special of FGL and all I remember was thinking it sounded German.
The average white American does, so it’s quite probable. :-)
He is a great singer btw I love his music! Apparently 50 million American’s claim German heritage (which I believe includes German Ashkenazi Jews) so it really is a common ethnic background for Caucasian American’s. I am a white American as well but have no German ancestry. But I do have an Irish grandmother that converted to Judaism. Well enough of my little tangent :-) Follers mind adding Darrell Castle to ethnic celebs? he is a presidential candidate
Tyler’s father’s obituary actually includes the names of Tyler’s maternal grandparents.
I should have noticed that.
