might pop out in your kids, could have been the photo but they seem to be my eyes and i'm tanned in winter. yeh i know we irish are supposed to be all pale and ginger but most of that comes from the vikings and the normans (english), you have my eyes or something similar, maybe not. You get the same blue, turquoise transition in morocco, and indeed although many irish darker people claim lineage to the remnants of the spanish armada's army that was wrecked around the west coast, the spanish folk's heads were worth a few dollars to the english but as their moorish galley slaves weren't worth squat we let them live. The name for a black man being 'fár (man) gorm (blue)', so blue man, ship slaves would have been sunburnt, black lads burn blue. And according to the romans we were a tanned lot. Many a kerryman can grow natural dreads and boasts about his tackle, and many a galwayman bronzes well. I have an identicial wee brother with your colouring.I have some Irish heritage, although I'm mostly English. I'm not aware of any darker skinned Irish in my heritage, although it is possible.
one things for sure genetically we share feck all genes with the southern spanish!
