[I still care]

People always tell me your great-great parents are so far back you aren't that much like them. But look how much the guy looks like his great, great grandma - it's astounding.

That’s what they SAY, but you know how it is with ‘experts’; most of what they think they know is borrowed rhetoric.

Nobody in my family has hair like mine. The color alone is something I’ve never been able to closely match even in human hair, hair pieces. Combine the color with the texture and thickness/thinness and it’s..well, unique within my family or so I thought until the day when my grand aunt pulled a braid out of a small box. It was my great-grandmother’s hair and it was exactly like mine in every way. I could pin that braid to my hair and you could not tell it wasn’t mine.

So, I can’t help but wonder, how else am I like her, physically? She died a few months before I was born so I never got to know her. I don’t look like her that I can see, but not all traits are visible.

Interesting article, for sure!

These are NOT Melungeons, but look at how the nose is carried through 4 generations of the Harrison family.
