I’ve never met a Norwegian, so have no idea if that is typical or unusual. But, clearly, the liberals want to make sure that this young person never immigrates here to contaminate our gene stock with ginger. Actually would have guessed that was a young boy. I wonder why.

My father was born in Norway and came to America at around age 6 or 7. He was born with blonde hair and blue eyes but his hair turned dark as he got older. But he had an aunt on his father’s side who he remembered seeing him off to America who was quite tall and had beautiful flaming red hair and piercing blue eyes.

My mother whose ancestry is German and English and perhaps some Welsh was a strawberry blonde with hazel eyes.

I have natural strawberry blond hair and blue -green eyes, some days looking more green than blue – sort of “mood” eyes as I swear the color changes with the weather and sometimes with my mood, but my brother was born with blonde hair and blue eyes.

Some have surmised that the red-haired people of Ireland and Scotland get their red hair from their Viking ancestry. But the is some questions on whether that is true or not.

But it is probably true that the Norwegian born Viking Eric The Red was named so because of his red hair and red beard.
