Well my dad is 100% French and first generation American, his parents moved here around 1910 and were married in 1922...my dad came along about 25 years later.
My Mom is 75% Irish 25% Swedish-- my grandmother was 100% Irish and Grandfather 50/50 Irish/Swedish. And I'm 8th or 9th generation American on my Mom's side.
SO while we all have mostly dark hair--in the brown and auburn range and either hazel or dark brown eyes--everyone also has this pale skin that freckles and doesn't tan. Except me. LOL I am more olive complected, brown in the sun, never freckle and have the dark hair and eyes--my grandmother always called me "Black Irish"
