*(On Wikipedia it says his mother is “a New Zealander of Estonian and Māori descent”  but I can’t find the source of that statement. The only other place it’s mentioned is on theapricity.com where it states that “His father is of Maori ancestry and his mother is Estonian.” Only the second statement seems to be partially true. I don’t know where they got this information from? The only thing Julian ever said about his ancestry is: “I look Māori and feel Māori”  and “Ever since I was young, I’ve grown up in a Maori environment.” )

Mary McNey Mahon was the daughter of Robert Mahon from Falkirk, Scotland and Mary Hughan (whose parents came from Kirkmabreck Parish, Scotland.)

*(I think that maybe Tammy doesn’t/didn’t know that his mother is part Samoan/Tongan and not Māori. To be fair he looks more Samoan. The Māori can’t come from his dad’s side or he would’ve stated that, besides that his dad looks quite white. His half brother Julian Arahanga does have Māori ancestry and mentioned that they grew up in a Māori community. It could be that Tammy’s mother grew up Maori so considers herself Māori.)

President Ford was also a Member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Michigan, from January 3, 1949 to December 6, 1973, a Chairman of the House Republican Conference, from January 3, 1963 to January 3, 1965, and House Minority Leader, from January 3, 1965 to December 6, 1973.

He was the Republican Party’s nominee for President of the United States in 1976.

President Ford was the son of Dorothy Ayer (Gardner) and Leslie Lynch King. He was adopted by his stepfather, Gerald Rudolph/Rudolff Ford, a businessperson and politician, whom his mother married in 1916. His brother was banker and politician Thomas Gardner Ford. President Ford’s ancestry included English, Scottish, and distant Dutch, German, and French. Also, one of President Ford’s maternal great-great-great-great-great-grandfathers, Antoni/Anthony Sadowski (c. 1669-1736), was Polish. Antoni was a trader and interpreter with Native Americans, employed as an Indian agent in the western country.

He was married to Elizabeth Ann “Betty” (Bloomer), with whom he had four children.

President Ford’s paternal grandfather was Charles Henry King (the son of Lynch R. King and Rebecca Jane Shepherd). Charles was born in Pennsylvania. He was a prominent banker and businessperson who was crucial to the founding of several U.S. cities. Lynch was the son of Josiah King and Nancy Lynch. Rebecca was the daughter of Thomas Shepherd.

President Ford’s paternal grandmother was named Martha Alicia Porter. Martha was born in Indiana.

President Ford’s maternal grandfather was Levi Addison Gardner (the son of Alexander Gardner, Jr. and Sarah “Sally” Miller). Levi was born in Illinois. Alexander was born in Burnbrae, Kilmalcolm, Renfrewshire, Scotland, the son of Alexander Gardner and Marie/Mary Brodie. Sarah was the daughter of Jesse Miller and Rachel Seymour.

President Ford’s maternal grandmother was Adele Augusta Ayer (the daughter of George Manney Ayer and Amy Gridley Butler). Adele was born in Ohio. George was the son of John Varnum Ayer and Elida Vanderburgh Manney. Amy was the daughter of George Selden Butler and Elizabeth Ely Gridley.

President Ford’s matrilineal line can be traced to Sarah Jones, who was born, c. 1643, in Connecticut, and to her parents, Thomas Jones and Mary, who were English.
