Think of it as "resting". My mom hauled out a small, old, wood box (an old container for some product or other) and showed me a large clip of red hair, from my great-grandmother (died 1905). That color emerges here and there among the cousins and such. :')
Most of my cousins and kids are reddish blond and grey eyed, me I am the exception, Wotan...........these threads are great.
