Jake Gyllenhaal Geneaology

[eausavage]

It was happened to me in past days to chatting with a dear friend of mine about genealogy,
when it spoke Jake Gyllenhaal name she was such nice to done some reserch about his genalogy,
it was very very interesting, and i thoughts it was nice sharing with you.
so here's.

Jake Gyellenhaal's family, identifies him as primarily Jewish through Gyllenhaal's Ashkenazi Jewish mother and his father identifies primarily as Swedish.
Stephen Gyllenhaal's mother's side is a also a mixture of German, Swiss, and English settlers from the early Pennsylvania colonies. Stephen Gyllenhaal's father's side is Swedish mixed with Scottish, English, German, and French from the Southern US (mostly Georgia). It is only Jake Gyllenhaal's great-great-grandfather who is Swedish (his great-great-grandmother who married the Gyllenhaal from Sweden was also primarily English), which makes him primarily Ashkenazi Jewish, with a mixture of English, German, Swedish, Swiss, Scottish, and French background.
Gyllenhaal mother blood is aslo Jewsih russian, the Ashkenazi Jewish population is very strong in Eastern Europe.
Russian Jewish blend then too for Jake Gyllenhaal

I hope you'll find interesting, ;D
maybe now we have a better idea of his interesting somatic features.

Wow, he has quite a strong "German" heritage. And I too have relatives in Sweden. Maybe our ancesters knew each other....

[summerwine2]

Well actually i see also an important part of his roots as French , is always funny discovering something like this, but i can clearly see that his sweden/scandnavian features are very strong and this is reflected in his complezion, eyes color, shape of face, jaws, skin color as well, also the hairy feature underline his russian roots as well.

Thanks for sharing this, Maria, very interesting indeed!

[eausavage]

Yai i'm glad it's interesting!

Thanks for posting this Maria. Very interesting. Jake is such a mixture of different origins. I knew about Swedish and German heritage, but this French and Ashkenazi Jewish part are quite news for me.

[eausavage]

Oh Ana i'm such happy tha you find interesting, to me it's actually very very interesting.
The real surprice for me was the french blood, as for Ashkenazi Jewish roots and russian roots was a bit ovious as is part of his mother blood,
take a look to this Maggie pic:



she seems quite russian beauty <3

[purpleshadow]

Well, Jake's mother had always seemed to me like a German. Haven't seen that Russsian connection. As for Maggie..now when you mentioned "russian beauty" it is obvious. But it never occurred to me before..

[eausavage]

I'm glad you see that too Ana,
it's strange but in black&white pics this liking to russian complexion is enahnced in Maggie don't you think?
If you're staring at some older Gyllenhaal pics in Black&White as well surely i can recongnize some swedish/scandinavian beauty.

[purpleshadow]

That pic of Maggie you have posted is sooo Russian.

[eausavage]

thank you, i must add some of Gyllenhaal when he seems quite scandinavian than <3

[jfaulkin]

On wikipedi, It stated that Gyllenhaal is descended for Swedish nobility. Now we know were he gets his charm form.
