Just reading through an old thread ~ issue was snaggly, turned or missing teeth.

This weekend Tiger Woods' wife was featured in the news (much to her distress). So, there were a lot of "other than posed" pictures floating around.

I could not help but notice that she had an "uneven bite" and out of 10 teeth showing, 5 were slightly turned.

Her family are from a Sa'ami region in Northern Sweden.

It is possible American Sa'ami keep more than their fair share of orthodontists in business!

All of my granparents were from Norway - and we’ve traced it back 500+ years (all Norwegians).

But, my one grandfather had very dark features. Olive/brown skin, brown eyes, brown hair. My dad figured it must have been some genes left over from a Viking raid to the Mediterranian.

Later my dad was on a trip to Norway and finally made it way up north and visited the Saami and figured it out! One of the relatives lives in a nice house near the coast, but took him to visit where his herd was. Living out of tents, etc.

My dad asked him how many reindeer he had. The relative replied “only if you tell me how much money you have in the bank” :)
