Det, I know about recessive genes - hence my initial point about my ancestry, though, having said that, my grand dad's best 'mate' was black - that's black, not mixed race. His father was from Barbados, but his mother was 6th generation English. |

My Mum's eldest sister had black, curly hair and brown eyes. Mum and other siblings had blonde hair (straight) and light eyes. This was always pondered on and it wasn't until Gran died, and eldest sister found her birth certificate, that she discovered that she was born out of wedlock and with no father named. She did look a lot like Gran, though, and was fair skinned, but one of her sons is very dark, in summer he's mahogany! |

You do read of births were a recessive gene comes to the fore. White parents with a tighty curled hair, very dark skinned baby. Perhaps you're one of them? |

Strangely looking at the photo's, my aunt (elder sister to my mother) has fat ankles and legs, whilst my mother has skinny ankles and legs. |

Also, about 4 yrs ago, I found a Glasgow web site with old school class photos. |

Mixed up at birth ?? .......of course if you were a home birth that's less likely :-D |

I was showing my youngest (blonde, pale and prone to sunburn - takes after her dad) photographs of her ancestors. |
