[Richard]

The atlantid king

[Flintlocke]

You can't classify the KING!

[Aces High]

classify Elvis

One cool cat.

[GeistFaust]

North Atlantid predominantly with a weak Paleo-Atlantid influence, which has a Brunn undertone. This is a very common type I find in parts of Western/Northwestern England near Wales and parts of Southwestern Scotland. Elvis is actually quite a progressive anthropological specimen.

I agree, he is in a classification of his own. One of the best looking men I've ever seen. :cool:

[Moonbird]

North Atlantid with Brunn and Alpinid influences.

[MandM]

I agree, he is in a classification of his own. One of the best looking men I've ever seen. :cool:

[EvilDave]

Irish looking , I'd say North Atlantid + something of Cro-Magnoid(maybe Brunn).

[Damião de Góis]

Isn't he supposed to have some native american ancestry? It always looked like it to me.

[Aviane]

I thought so myself too.

He does look quite exotic as well.

[Electronic God-Man]

Every Scots-Irishman claims to be part Amerindian. Few of them are.

Here's Wiki:


Presley's ancestry was primarily a Western European mix: On his mother's side, he was Scots-Irish, with some French Norman; one of Gladys's great-great-grandmothers was Cherokee. His father's forebears were of Scottish or German origin.

So...Scottish and Scottish? The "Cherokee" weighs in at 1/32, but I still doubt it.

Yes, I agree. It was very popular some years ago to claim Amerindian ancestry but mostly it's non-existent or very tiny.

[Damião de Góis]

In Elvis case he looks it. Chuck Norris on the other hand doesn't look it at all.

[Furnace]

Atlantid + CM

He may have some kind of amerindian too, but I am having a hard time deciding.

[Sharkeatpeople]

N.Atlanto-Brunn+some Native.

[Proctor]

North atlantid, I don't see much Amerindian influence if at all.

[Smaug]

Paleoatlantid.

Elvis Presley was an American musician and actor. The legendary rock and roll singer’s ancestry has been researched by many.

Much of Elvis’s ancestry was English. He also had Scottish roots, distant French, and remote Dutch and Danish, ancestry (these latter two from ancestors born in the 1500s). A writer on Elvis’s ancestry stated that the Presley name originated from Scotland, from where a man named Andrew Presley moved to America in the 1700s. Another set of genealogical research states that Elvis was descended from Andreas Preslar (later “Presley”), who was born, c. 1704, in Germany.

Elvis’s paternal grandparents were Jessie Dee McClowell Presley (the son of an unknown father and Rosella Elizabeth Presley) and Minnie Mae Hood (the daughter of William H. Hood and Mary L. Warren).

Elvis’s maternal grandparents were Robert Lee Smith (the son of Mileage Obediah Smith and Ann Mansell) and Octavia Lavenia Mansell (the daughter of A. White Mansell and Martha Tackett). Robert and Octavia were first cousins.

Elvis’s ancestor, Morning White Dove, who was his maternal great-great-great-grandmother twice over, is said to have been a Cherokee woman. The story of her marriage to a caucasian man, William Mansell, Elvis’s great-great-great-grandfather, is known among geneaologists. However, research has shown that it is unlikely that Morning Dove White was a Cherokee, although it is possible or likely that she was Native American. Background information on this can be found here – http://genealogyblog.geneanet.org/index.php/post/2007/08/Southern-Genealogy-Yields-Surprises.html

There is a claim that Elvis’s matrilineal great-great-grandmother, said to have been named Nancy J. Burdine, was Jewish. Research has shown this claim to be highly unlikely, and that Elvis’s matrilineal great-great-grandmother was almost certainly a different woman, Celia Anne Butler. Elvis’s great-great-grandfather, Abner Tackett, was not Jewish. Some background information on this can be found here (see “24. Blue Christmas”):

On wikipedia it says the mom is scotch irish, maybe they believe that's mainly english but I don't think so. He looks more scot + irish than he does english.

[Smeagol]

North Atlantid + Brunn.

Agree, he doesn't really have any distinct "English" features imo.

[Dombra]

North Atlantid + Brunn

Always was fascinated by his phenotype. Probably one of the more fascinating types if not somewhat perplexing, particularly when given his ancestry:


Presley's ancestry was primarily a Western European mix: on his mother's side, he was Scots-Irish, with some French Norman; one of Gladys' great-great-grandmothers was Cherokee.[11] Presley's [B]father's forebears were of Scottish[14] and German[15] origin.

Given how far back his Cherokee is, I'm surprised it would show, but it definitely does. Granted, he's not full blown Cherokee but I believe the shape and spacing of his eyes is somewhat derived from that ancestry as well as skin tone (obviously).

Check him out in relation to his mother and father:

Definitely more like his mom.

[oh-nahhh]

Atlanto-Brunn.

[Vojnik]

Apparently he had some German Romani (Gypsy) ancestry. Any truth in this?

Doubt it ifyou mean his father, the darkness comes from his mothers side.

[gültekin]

melungeons (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melungeon) claiming that he is also one of them
