Was Marilyn Monroe Norwegian?
There is no proof as to who Marilyn's father was, there has been speculation and guesses as to who fathered the American sweetheart but no definitive proof. Her father is Martin Edward Mortensen, the son of an immigrant (also called Martin Edward Mortenson) from the village of Skold near Haugesund in Norway. He abandoned his family before Marilyn Monroe was born and died without ever seeing his daughter. He is listed as Edward Mortenson on Marilyn Monroe's birth-certificate (hence her birthname of Norma Jean Mortenson). Marilyn Monroe however denied that he was her father throughout her life causing some debate, however it is considered more likely that Mortenson was her biological father and left because he didn't want to cope with his then partly separated wife having a baby daughter. A copy of Monroe's birth-certificate was found in his belongings after he died. Marilyn Monroe herself claimed to be of Scottish, Irish and Norwegian ancestry though this would seemingly have to be from her father's side of the family as she has no known Norwegian ancestors on her maternal line

Did Marilyn Monroe have Irish ancestry?
Maybe, but it would have been a few generations back. Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jeane Mortenson and was raised under the name Norma Jeane Baker. Marilyn's birth certificate names Martin E. Mortensen as her father, however her mother had separated from him before her pregnancy and she immediately changed Marilyn's name to Baker, the name of her first husband. Throughout her life, Marilyn denied her father was Mortensen. Marilyn identified Charles Stanley Gifford, a studio co-worker of her mother, as her real father. Gifford had a largely New England ancestry that was mostly English. If Marilyn had Irish ancestors, they would probably be on her mother's side.

She never knew her father, but it is alleged that his name was Stanley Gifford. Her birth certificate lists a fictional Edward Mortensen as her father. Marilyn Monroe's father was indeed Stanley "Stan" Gifford, owner/operator of Gifford's Red Rock Dairy, formerly located on East Menlo Avenue near San Jacinto Street in Hemet, California. My brother worked for Stan. I met him many times and he wasn't shy about taking with people he knew or locals.
