Andy Roddick is an American tennis player. He is married to model and actress Brooklyn Decker.
Andy’s patrilineal ancestry can be traced back to his great-great-great-grandfather, John Henry Roddick, who was born, c. 1811, in Wales.
Andy’s paternal grandparents were Lawrence John Roddick (the son of Ora Sandy Roddick and Isabel Paulston) and Marion Agnes Bailey (the daughter of Silas Joseph Bailey and Frances/Francis Belonger). Isabel’s parents were Norwegian. Frances was of half Irish, one quarter French, and one quarter Swiss-French, ancestry.
Andy’s maternal grandparents were Louis Edwin Corell (the son of Parke Buckley Carrell and Blanche Peltier) and Hazel Elizabeth Speth (the daughter of Louis Paul Speth and Dorothea Logemann). Louis and Dorothea were both born in Wisconsin, and all of their own parents were German.
