In "time", "Cristina Yang" says that she's Jewish.  She sits shivah|shiv%27ah {not shiv}, regarding "Denny" Dennison Duquette.  Sandra Oh is Korean-Canadian.  Is there a page w/ Cristina's family-tree?
Thank You.

replies: text: Not sure this is relevant, but I'm perplexed by Christina's last name. Yang is more commonly a Chinese name than a Korean one. (I've actually never met a Korean-American or Korean with Yang as a surname) Also her mother took the name "Rubenstein" when she was three. Granted this isn't an issue the show has dealt with, hence I'm uncertain of its relevance.--T. Anthony 15:34, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think her mother is Korean, but she may have a Chinese father that gave her the name. Anyway, to clear things up, yes, her mother remmarried a Dr. Rubenstein, an oral surgeon in Beverly Hills, which is why she was raised Jewish. - Xtreme680 04:54, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I sort of got an answer to part of it. The episode where George's Dad died she talks about her dad dying when she was nine and what that meant to her. It's fairly clear she doesn't mean her stepdad, so she might have went with her father's name as solidarity. Still being a nine-year old with a different last name than both your living parents is a bit unusual, but not impossible I guess. On it being a Chinese name I've since found a few Koreans with the last name Yang. Yong is a bit more common, but I guess it's not too odd as there was some Chinese intermixture in Korea.--T.

If we compare GA to House, which does have FA-standing, their character listing organizes the information in prose. Ace(T•CON) 23:00, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

message: Just bringing this over from the main "Grey's Anatomy" page, since it's already come up a few times.  Based on canon information to date, Callie's surname has not changed as a result of her marriage to George.  George himself referred to her without "O'Malley" tacked on, and until the opposite happens, it should be assumed that she is keeping her maiden name, ala Miranda Bailey.

thread_title:  Callie's surname 

message: Three reasonable possibilities:
* ABC's episode guide gives the spelling as "Iphegenia".
* It's undoubtedly taken from the Greek mythological figure Iphigeneia.
* The article on Iphigeneia gives the alternate spelling "Iphigenia", and uses it here and there.  Per Google, this spelling is an order of magnitude more common than either of the others.
I think we have to take the ABC reference as definitive, though, until/unless they issue a correction.  Emurphy42 06:21, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Should she be in "Deceased Characters"?! I know she's in the "Meredith's Family" section but if we were to put her in a non-deceased group like what's stopping us from putting the other deceased characters in other sections?! I'd love to here some comments..I won't change it until I here someone thinks it's a good idea Nisior (talk) 00:16, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Why you put nurse Tyler there i mean he is but when we put him there that mean that we should put this woman who is acctually Richard assistant i think she is old and she often in the show you know. And this indian guy he is all the time around too. I mean if we put Tyler there that means that we should put these two too. Just the problem is i don't know their names so please tell me what do you think about that. --77.29.66.217 (talk) 20:53, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

message: How should we organize the lists of characters? The list of main characters is alphabetical, but the lists of minor characters do not seem to be in any particular order.

message: I have a few questions 
1) How is it decided whether someone is listed as a family member in their own right or not?  Callie's uncle Berto and a couple of others are alive but never seen and are mentioned in their own right.  Christina's father is not mentioned in his own right, only under her mother.  Should he get a line of his own since he's significant, even if he is deceased?
2) What order do family members go in?  They are not alphabetical, nor do they seem to be listed by generation.  Should listings start first with parents, then siblings, then spouses then children?  Where do ex spouses fit in?
3) Should April Kepner get her own section? If Denny gets listed under Izzie, should Matthew Taylor be listed under an entry for her? 
Also, Alex and Izzie should be listed as exes in each other's family.  Naomi Evans should be listed as Alex's step-mother. Jimmy Evans doesn't need his entire character's history listed. Maggie Pierce, Catherine Avery, Jackson Avery and by extension, all of Jackson's family, should be listed under Dr. Webber.  I think it would be fair to list Ellis Grey under Dr. Webber as well as the mother of his child. Owen Hunt should be listed as Christina's ex husband. Thoughts?
