‘My mother’s side of the family is from Norway____’
Speaking of Norway - - -
My 2 sister’s-in-law, one in her late 70’s now, the other deceased at 86, born of pure Norwegian parents who emigrated to New York, were always some of the tallest women around, back in the 1950’s to at least the 1980’s.
At about 5’6” and 5’8,” they were certainly taller than my (Scottish) side of the family!
We just drew the short stick with our Norwegian genes. At 5’4” my mom and I are much taller than all the other women on that side of the family. Don’t know where she got her height, her mom and aunts were all barely 5’ tall.
