- https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/272680650/beryl_christie-harris "This death document is not for Kamala's grandmother but the birth document is. There are several Beril/Beryl women from Jamaica within a several year time-span. The woman that died in 1960 spent a significant portion of time in America, whereas Kamala Harris' grandmother did not. The 1960 woman never married. Kamala's grandmother married twice that I have found so far. The 1960 woman is pretty fair skinned as well, Kamala's Grandmother was pretty dark skinned. It is not 100% confirmed yet, but the Grandmother of Kamala appears to have died 3 Sep 1995, 6 days before her 78th birthday."

Finegan, who married Orah Allen, aka Miss Iris, in 1908, was the mixed-race son of a man called Patrick Finegan from Ireland. Miss Iris and Patrick A. Finegan, were the parents of Donald Harris’s mother Beryl."
- "Kamala Harris' family tree tells a tale of migration and education" (September 20, 2024) < Findmypast/blog > "Donald J. Harris' maternal grandmother was also a key part of his Jamaican upbringing. Donald's mother Beryl was born to Patrick A. Finegan and Orah Allen, known as 'Miss Iris' (1888-1981). As their marriage record reveals, the couple had married on 1 January 1908, when they were aged 25 and 19, respectively. Like Miss Chrishy, Iris was also a mother of eight. She was a devoted Christian and ran a cane farm in St. Ann, and Donald remembers her as a 'tough farming woman'."
