Hi there Twilight and thanks for the lovely information. Most I was aware of already and some was new to me.
I have also found some interesting facts of the history of Ireland, in particular the following-
Later stories tell us how the Sons of Mil arrived in Ireland from Spain and, after many adventures and battles, eventually took possession of it from the defeated Tuatha DeDanann. These Sons of Mil are said to be the forefathers of the Gaelic people, both Irish and Scottish, and their descendants are therefore technically still in charge of Ireland.
I am what is called "Black Irish" meaning that my family in Ireland (Co. Galway) seems to come from this invasion as shown by the dark hair and olive skin tones and smaller stature in comparison to my children and their father whos family is from Co. Limerick and all have the more Norse look of being light skinned with very blonde hair.
Hmmmm interesting indeed 3nodding

Connor~Lass indeed it has! With some help from you my little Fae~Lass
Here is why red hair is so common in Ireland:
But why do we have such numbers in these parts of the British Isles today and not others? The answer, says Bodmer, is that red-hair genes were common among the first Britons and that populations in the archipelago’s fringes still carry their bloodline.
“Genes for red hair first appeared in human beings about 40,000 to 50,000 years ago,” agrees Rees.
These genes were then carried into the islands by the original settlers, men and women who “would have been relatively tall, with little body fat, athletic, fair-skinned and who would have had red hair”, says David Miles, of English Heritage.
Redheads therefore represent the land’s most ancient lineages. So if you want an image of how those first people appeared, don’t think of a hairy savage with a mane of thick black hair. Contemplate instead a picture of a slim, ginger-haired individual: Prince Harry, perhaps, or the actress Nicole Kidman who has Scottish and Irish descent.
Why did those early Britons have so many redheads in their midst in the first place? Is there an evolutionary advantage to having red hair in this part of the world? According to Rees, the answer may be yes.
The MC1R variants that cause red hair also have an effect on the skin. As a result, redheads do not make enough of the dark pigment melanin to protect them against the sun’s powerful ultraviolet rays. Their skin rarely tans. It just burns or freckles.
I guess I am a mix......I am short with dark red hair and hazel eyes, though I am olive toned, I never tan but always burn or freckle xp
