Ross Lynch is an American actor and singer. He is a member of the band R5, with his siblings, Riker, Rocky, and Rydel, as well as with Ellington Ratliff (not a sibling).
His surname, “Lynch”, is Irish. His mother has English, one eighth Danish, and small amounts of French, German, Scottish, and Welsh, ancestry.
Ross is a second cousin of actress and dancer Julianne Hough and dancer Derek Hough. Their maternal grandmothers are sisters.
On his mother’s side, Ross is the grandson of Lee Anthony de St. Jeor (the son of Waldo Francis de St. Jeor and Owanna Lee Gosnell) and Mary Jeanettes Young (the daughter of Phares Philip Young and Thelma Frandsen). Thelma’s father, Thomas Christian Frandsen, was born in Grenaa, Rndrs, Denmark.
Ross’s matrilineal ancestry can be traced back to his great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmother, Elizabeth Watson, who was born, c. 1739, in England, possibly in Lincoln.
