Kyle Chandler is an American actor. His father had English and Irish ancestry. His mother was of German, and a small amount of English, descent.
Kyle’s paternal grandparents were Harold J. Chandler (the son of Edmond Chandler and Elicia/Alicia Grace) and Grace H. Elicia was born in India, to an Irish-born father, John Evans Grace, and to an Indian-born mother, Mariah Jane Steele (while not totally clear, it appears that Elicia was not of Indian descent).
Kyle’s maternal grandparents were Edward Joseph Meyer, Jr. (the son of Edward Joseph “E. J.” Meyer and Etta/Edda Glasser) and Elsie R. Braun (the daughter of Peter J. Braun and Eleanor “Nellie” M. Rosenbach). Edward was the son of Augustus Franciscus Meyer and Hattie A., who were both the children of German immigrants. Etta was the daughter of John P. Glasser, whose parents were German, and of Esther Charlotte Baetzhold, whose father was German and whose mother was English. Peter’s parents were German. Eleanor was the daughter of Wallace Frank Rosenbach, who had German ancestry, and of Barbara Lottie Fagan.
