What is the country of origin did newscaster Katie Couric ancestry come from?

Question:

What is the country of origin did newscaster Katie Couric ancestry come from?

I did some research on the internet on her. I believe she is not of Irish or scottish descent. I found no one will give me a definite sure answer of where her origin is from. Is she trying to hide her heritage or something. I know she is part jewish/episcopalian, but what is her nationality? What is it such a big secret? When you search on the internet on her true origin, you get nothing. Very puzzling to me. No where can I find what is her nationality/heritage. I find that very strange. I hope I get lucky with Yahoo! and get a correct answer. Thanks all!

John Martin Couric, Jr and Elinor Hene

John Martin Couric, Sr and Wildie Churchill Hibbler

great granddaughter of
Alfred Alexis Couric and Sarah Shorter McKleroy
(these were the Courics of Eufala, Alabama

great great granddaughter of
Charles Maturon Couric b November 24, 1817 Laurient, France and
Henrietta Francoise Farier
b. Aug 16, 1805

So, if you are talking about Katie's paternal line, it does indeed appear that the Courics have French origins; however, don't forget that we women account for half of a persons genes!! I hope this helps. Blessings
