I also got my 5’8” fathers “shortness” while my 6 foot brother and my son got Moms tall genes...
My mother and her sisters were at least was 5’ 6” which was tallish for women born 100 years ago and their brothers were mostly 6 foot...
most of the sons are around 6 foot...
For my 5’2” and my sisters 5 foot, the tall gene was not predominate...
But some of my long legged grandchildren will play basketball...
:’) A former coworker was talking about her family once, said that she, her ex-husband, and one of their daughters were O blood type, and the other daughter was type A.
That one is not possible, unless of course she had a different father. I was uncharacteristically polite and didn’t mention it. :’)
Same here on the height, I’m over 6 ft, have one sibling who is near 6 ft, and another sibling who is under 5’ 6”. For the most part the ancestors appear to have been short, or had taller ancestors than themselves, but one of my grandmothers was tall, and that’s mostly what has come down. :’)
My grandchildren had very tall, very short, very slender, chubby, brown eyed, blue eyed, green eyed, big nose, pug nosed, olive skinned, fair skinned, red haired, blond and brown haired parents and grands. Ancestry spreads all over Europe to eastern asia. It has been fun to see what we get. No two are the same it seems. All are beautiful, of course.
I was working on some demographic trend data for my County the other day and it appears that we are growing more and more in the mixed race category. It appears we may eventually be all mixed in together.
