I have green eyes also. 64 years old. Parents are, Greek father and adopted mother, but she was a strawberry blonde red head with lots of freckles! lol Pretty sure she had a lot of Irish in her.
Apparently green eyes occur in every race; and yet they seem to be the most rare eye color. (As I said before, I only remember meeting one other green-eyed person in my life.)
(Maybe that has something to do with the fact that our green eyes aren’t really ‘green’ - sort of the way the Blue Jay’s feathers aren’t really blue...?)
