07/28/1929 AD born

To Wall Street stockbroker John Vernou "Black Jack" Bouvier III and socialite Janet Norton Lee

Bouvier's mother was of Irish descent, and her father had French, Scottish, and English ancestry. Named after her father, Bouvier was baptized at the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola in Manhattan; she was raised in the Catholic faith. Jacqueline's younger sister, Caroline Lee, was born four years later in 1933.

Bouvier spent her early childhood years in Manhattan and at Lasata, the Bouviers' country estate in East Hampton on Long Island.[13] She looked up to her father, who likewise favored her over her sister, calling his elder child "the most beautiful daughter a man ever had".[14] Biographer, Tina Santi Flaherty, referred to Jackie's early confidence in herself, seeing a link to her father's praise and positive attitude to her, and her sister Lee Radziwill stated that she would not have gained her "independence and individuality" had it not been for the relationship she had with their father and paternal grandfather, John Vernou Bouvier Jr
