Off topic, but...

My great grandparents were both 100% from Sweden.

Both had dark hair, and my Dad joked a lot that his ancestors had been to the coast of Spain.

Yep. And consider the "black Irish" -- blue or green eyes, fair skin and black hair.

My grandparents were all from Norway. My dad said the same about his father who had brown eyes, black hair and olive skin. Thought for sure he had the blood of some Mediteranian beauty taken on a pillage.

Until dad went up north and visited with the Sami (sp?). He came back and said “Oh - now I know where dad got his features!”
