Rowan Blanchard is an American actress.
Rowan’s paternal grandfather, an immigrant from the Middle East, had Lebanese, Moroccan, Armenian and Syrian ancestry. Rowan’s paternal grandmother has Swedish, Danish, and English ancestry.
Rowan’s mother has 1/4 Portuguese, as well as German, and possibly English, ancestry.
On her father’s side, Rowan is the granddaughter of Edmond Joseph Boulbol and Barbara Boyce.
On her mother’s side, Rowan is the granddaughter of Richard Harry Folk (the son of Harry R. Folk and Evangeline/Virginia Garcia). Harry was born in Pennsylvania, and likely had German ancestry. Evangeline was born in Hawaii, to Manuel R. Garcia and Maria Souza. While the “Race” of Evangelina and her parents is listed as “Puerto Rican” on the 1920 for whatever weird reason, the birthplace of her parents is listed as Portugal. The maiden name of Maria, “Souza”, is consistent with a Portuguese background (Maria’s parents were Henrick Souza and Ramona).
