[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My younger daughter looks very different from me and my husband as well as our older daughter. When I am out with her (and not my husband and older daughter), [b]I keep getting asked if my husband is Italian/Spanish/Indian because of how my daughter looks.[/b] It’s making me want to take a 23andme dna test to see what my ancestry is. Has anyone else been inspired to take an ancestory test based on a similar situation and is 23andme the best test? TIA.[/quote]

Do people really do that? That just sounds rude. Or is this normal?[/quote]

Yes! I am almost all Irish, but family roots are "dark Irish". I tan SO easily and did even more so when I was a kid. If I was out with one parent people would regularly ask if my other parent was Mexican or Puerto Rican. My own DH asked if I was Mexican or Greek when we first met in the summertime. Now we have two DDs- one brown eyes, brown hair that is already super tan just from the last couple weeks of sun and her sister is a red head with fair skin and bright green eyes. Genetics are weird.[/quote]

Genetics are very, very strange. I have a pale, blond, blue eyed father who has british isles/scandinavian ancestry. My moms family hails from the south part of Germany and are definitely on the more olive complected side and tan super super easily. My sister and I look so similar people mistake us for each other. I used to get a good laugh after I had graduated high school and she still had her high school job at a coffee shop. I popped in a couple of time when she wasn't there and all the staff was sooo confused. Our hair color is exactly the same, eye color is the same, similar builds and facial features....BUT we do have one difference - skin tone! I am super pale and my sister is olive complected and gets super tan in the summer. Not me, sigh....[/quote]
