Jayne Mansfield's Cornish Ancestry

Jayne Mansfield was a full blooded American woman. She was born and raised in the USA and grew up to become one of America's most recognized sex symbols. Have you ever wondered about Jayne's ancestry though? Here is a quick revision. Jayne's father Herbert Palmer was born in 1904 in Pen Argyl to parents Alice Jackson and Elmer Palmer. Jayne's mother Vera Palmer was born on the 19th of May 1903 to parents Beatrice Jeffery and Thomas Palmer. I find it a little odd that we often recognize Vera's maiden name as being Jeffries or Jeffery however Jeffery was her mothers maiden name. I remember reading that Vera and Herbert were cousins and seeing that they both had fathers with the surname Palmer I think it could be true. Looking further back along the family tree line Jayne has a lot of Cornish ancestry and one German ancestor is named. One of her ancestry lines goes as far back as 1709 and there was even a Jane in the family. I wonder if all this information was easily accessible in Jayne's time if she would have taken an interest in it. I think to some extent she would have found it interesting. And she probably knew she had Cornish in her. I have read that Jayne was close to her grandparents. I wonder what stories they told her growing up and just how much she knew about her heritage. It is all very interesting. Check it out for yourself at the link below.
