Sorry, I meant that Cameron’s Cajun/French ancestry actually comes from the lineage of her paternal great-grandmother, Loine Brignac, rather than her paternal grandmother, Eloise White*

Who are Eloise’s parents?
She looked a mix of German and Irish.
Looked like*
Any more info on her background!?
@WalterWalten I think I’ve found the paternal side of their family tree
Can you find her maternal Womack side? I will keep searching too.
@jonnasbitt To me, she looks very much like Lily James
Do you actually know what people from Scotland and England, her ethnic background, look like? I’m from Scotland and I don’t see how she looks German and Irish rather than British.
Except, she ain’t either. And most “Irish” people in America are actually of Scots-Irish descent with no Irish blood at all.
There are distinctive Irish types of looks, and she doesn’t have any if them. Maybe you are thinking about the millions of Americans who claim to be Irish when they are really Scots-Irish, ie 0% Irish blood.
Her parents are Barry Richardson and Kathy Womack. Her paternal grandmother is named Elouise White.
