Ireland Baldwin is an American model and actress. She is the daughter of actors Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger. Her uncles are actors Daniel Baldwin, William Baldwin, and Stephen Baldwin.
Ireland has English, Irish, and some German, Northern Irish (Scots-Irish), Scottish, French-Canadian, and French, ancestry.
Both Ireland and her mother have stated that Ireland’s maternal grandmother, Ann Lee Cordell, had Cherokee Native American ancestry. It is not clear if this Cherokee Native American ancestry has been documented/verified. Ireland’s maternal grandmother is listed as “White” on U.S. Censuses, as are Ireland’s maternal grandmother’s parents. Ireland’s ancestry, as far as can be documented, is non-Native American. Similarly, Ireland is also sometimes stated as having Swedish ancestry on her mother’s side; this ancestral connection has also not been documented/verified.
Ireland’s paternal grandparents are Alexander Rae Baldwin, Jr. (the son of Alexander Rae Baldwin and Ruth Mary Noble) and Carol Newcomb Martineau (the daughter of Daniel Leroy Martineau and Marion Alice Sidnam).
Ireland’s maternal grandparents are Donald Wade Basinger (the son of Michael Herman Basinger, Sr. and Jessie Belle Ashley) and Ann Lee Cordell (the daughter of James Cullen Cordell and Mamie Elizabeth Howard).
