Ever’s paternal grandfather was John Carradine (born Richmond Reed Carradine, the son of William Reed Carradine and Genevieve Winifred Richmond). John was born in Manhattan, New York City, New York, and had English, some Irish and Scottish, and distant Welsh, German, and French, ancestry. William was born in Mississippi, and was a correspondent for the Associated Press. His father, The Rev. Beverly Francis Carradine, was a Methodist minister, author, and leading evangelist for the holiness movement, whose own father was planter. William’s mother, Ever’s great-great-grandmother, was Laura Green Reid/Reed. Ever’s great-grandmother Genevieve was born in Milford, Otsego County, New York, and was a surgeon. She was the daughter of Horace Culver Richmond and Winifred/Winnie Ryan, whose own parents were Irish.
Ever’s paternal grandmother was Sonia Sorel, an actress (the daughter of Henry Robert Henius and Lillian Dorothy Fuess). Sonia was born in Milwaukee, Milwaukee Co., Wisconsin. Henry was born in Chicago, Cook, Illinois, to Danish-born parents. Henry’s father, Max Henius, was a prominent biochemist, who specialized in the fermentation processes, and co-founded the American Academy of Brewing, in Chicago. He was a Danish Jew, who was born in Aalborg, to Polish Jewish parents, with roots in Torun. Henry’s mother, Ever’s great-great-grandmother Johanne/Johanna Louise “Henne” Heiberg, was born in Nørresundby, Aalborg Kommune, Nordjylland. Through her Henius line, Ever is a second cousin, twice removed, of Danish writer, novelist, poet, and journalist Suzanne Brøgger. Ever’s great-grandmother Lillian was born in Belleville, St. Clair, Illinois, the daughter of Capt. Joseph Fuess, who was German, from Baden-Württemberg, and was President of the First National Bank of Belleville, and of the Fuess-Fischer Company; and of Anna Fischer, whose father was from Tirol, Austria, and whose mother was from Niederstocken, Verwaltungskreis Thun, Bern.
Ever’s maternal grandfather likely was Joseph Nathan Snyder (the son of Samuel Schneiderman and Pauline Korn). Joseph was born in New York, to a Russian Jewish father and an Austrian Jewish mother.
Ever’s maternal grandmother likely was Pearl Eleanor Siegelman/Siegalman (the daughter of Jacob Siegelman and Rose Neiman). Pearl was born in California, to a Polish Jewish father and a Hungarian Jewish mother.
The surname Carradine is sometimes said to have an Italian or Spanish origin. Ever’s last traceable patrilineal ancestor is believed to have been a man named Parker Carradine, who was born in Georgia, in North America, c. 1755. There is no evidence that Parker had Italian or Spanish ancestry.
