Was Tonks's father a muggle-born or half-blood?

In the Harry Potter series, Andromeda Black married Ted Tonks and together they had Nymphadora Tonks, and I need to know if Ted was a muggle-born or half-blood.
Answers:
Ted was Muggle-born.
Muggle-born! Though he had amazing tolerance for the illusion world, unlike other Muggles.
Ted Tonks be Muggle-born. Tonks says so herself when she helps Harry to pack his trunk when the Advanced Guard comes to pick Harry up at 4 Privet Drive. (she discusses that the Dursleys' are very verbs while her Muggle-born father is "a right old slob"). Sirius also tells Harry of being relateecstaticonks when they're looking at the Black family tree and Sirius explains Andromeda (Tonks's mom) being blasted off (disowned) for marry a Muggle-born.
