DNA Project Aims to Count Scots Redheads

[Tam Piperson]

My last wife and I (neither of whom has red hair) were fortunate enough to have had a son together who has reddish hair; so it must be a recessive gene, as both she and I had ancestors and relatives that were redheads.

Thanks for sharing this. We have two generations with no redheads--then a handsome grandson with flaming red hair.

I think if I had known about genetic testing before I proposed to my wife, I might have asked her to take a test before we got married. Then at least I would not have had my hopes up at the birth of every child that they would have red hair, like I do (did).

I would be curious to see my relatives' genetic information - my family is Scottish and English. I have some reddish lowlights in my otherwise light brown hair, but my younger half brother has flame red hair (so jealous!!!)
