I have always been curious about this. My mother is AB, my fathers family and all my kids are O+ as were my dear Exes, Polish Lithuanian.

My Mother is also dark skinned, brown eyed, all her family is light skinned and blond to brownish, looks Southern European in a harpish kind of way, her whole family come from Northern Ireland and have been there since Christ, I am luring her up to my house for a DNA sample, a mystery to be solved.

Mom is AB... dad is O... that means you’re either A or B (depending on which half of your mom’s chromosome 9 you got), but managed to not pass on that half of your own chromosome 9, but the half you got from your dad. :’)

Oh, the dark skinned brown eyed thing, could be anything. There were small waves of Spanish immigrants into the British Isles a few different times, mostly during the Reformation, and ending by the early 17th c. "Bloody" Mary I (the daughter of Henry VIII's first wife, who was Katherine of Aragon; KofA had brought along some Spanish-speaking household) had her brief reign of terror, during which she brought in various European nationals, including Spanish clerics, most of whom were a bit quick with the flints. :') Here's an unverified source (based on the layout and font and stuff, I suspect it originated with one Andis Raulins, but I won't swear to it. :') Ethnic group down the left side, columns are bloodtypes by percentage. O was overwhelmingly common among American tribes, but there has been intermarriage for centuries, so the non-coding O gene sequence doesn't show up as strong any longer.

Again, these are current or at least recent values (it sez here) and don't necessarily reflect geographical or ethnic origin, just the recent or current distribution. :') I sorted it in database descending, by B and then AB, because AB wouldn't be around if it weren't for B. :')
