The following material
on the immediate ancestry of
Wayne Newton
should not be considered either
exhaustive or authoritative, but
rather as a first draft.
Mr. Newton claims to have Amerindian ancestry. For example,
http://www.waynenewton.com/bio.html,
refers to his childhood medical problems, and says
"The stamina that would see him through this and many other
difficult periods he credits to his Powahatan Indian/Irish
father, who overcame his own poverty-stricken background,
and his Cherokee Indian/German mother." The webpage also says
"Wayne is very proud of his Native American heritage
and had the distinguished honor of hosting the first ever
'Native American Music Awards,' where he was voted
'Native American Entertainer of the Year.'"
None of these claims (of Native American ancestry)
appear to be supported in the ancestry as shown below.
