dd74 - if your from the "old sod", chances are you are a lad or lass of fair skin and light hair, maybe blond but more reddish. Has to do with a particular gene (or lack there of). Brunettes have a pigment gene, blonds have a lackof that gene, the redheads have a different string (clearification sought). The Moors, The Vikings, The Greeks, The Romans, the Turks and even more recently the English have tried to invade Erie, the old sod, Ireland. Many of the woman were raped and I guess a few give in willingly but none the less, the seed was sewn. My old man was 100% mick but he had skin the shade of a Hershey bar and jet back hair (now it's white). He doesn't have any Med or African facial features - just looks like he was a Florida tan year round. All has to do with the fact that somewhere in the past, one of the woman in the line knocked boots or was taken advantage of by a non-celt.
