Although my *immediate* ancestry is heavily weighted towards Irish/Scots & Danish, there are a lot of Welsh in my genetic wood pile.
I do not have the coloration of my parents or even my grandparents.
The family branch which I most resemble are my Welsh cousins and aunts/uncles.
Though my parents are tall, fair-skinned, blonde people with blue eyes, I am shorter, auburn and green-eyed.
I don’t “look like” my parents very much at all, except for a passing resemblance to my dad who resembles to a much less extent, the Welsh side.
The hair and eyes aren’t the most different features...my skin color is.
It’s not “olive” and it’s not “sallow”.
It’s a strange, light golden tone that never goes completely “white”, even in winter.
I do not sunburn or “tan”.
I only turn the color of light toast, almost exactly, no matter how much sun I get.
My folks often made cracks about me being “left by the Gypsies”.
After going to your about page I can see why ;)
