My gg gf was a blonde man, his daugter dark, married a dark haired man, yet had a blonde daughter, who in turn has passed it down two more generations. Their blonde hair and vivid blue eyes make them stand out in our crowd, for sure. This is Thomas Bowe I speak of, born 1892 in Ireland, likely Kilkenny or Tipperary, his father was John Bowe born about 1858.
