Red beard too though that’s showing signs of turning another less spectacular color...

Interesting, I've got dark brown hair, but my beard has dark red/brown color, though now it's about 1/3 gray. Nobody in my family has any red hair. And no, when I was conceived and born, we lived in a high rise apartment building in Yonkers, NY, with no postman or milk man who did deliveries to the 12th floor!

Same here. Medium brown hair and a beard that is red as hell if I try to grow it out. My Mom's got red hair and Scottish blood. Both of my kids are dark-complected thanks to my wife and her part-Indian ancestry. But we can hold out hope for some generation skipping red hair in the future.
