Was Elvis Presley of Italian origin?

Answer 1

A lot of people who immigrated to the west often modified their names to sound more westernized or for convenience.In Virginia and the Carolinas, as well as other parts of the South there were "English" Presleys and "Irish" Pressleys in the region. The tendency for the Preslars of German ancestry was to adopt the same spellings, particularly in view of the fact that they had begun to forget that they even had German origins. Only through careful research can one determine from which of these unrelated families does a family line descend. So my guess would be either German, English or Irish.Hope that helps!!
