Hi! I'm such a mish-mash of Co. Kerry - SULLIVANS, CONNORS/O'CONNORS, SHEAS; Co. Roscommon - GAVICANS, BEIRNES, HANLEYS; Co. Tyrone - MCELROYS, TAGUES, CASSIDYS; and CARROLLS and LYNCHES from Co. ?...with redheads and blue-eyed dark haired folks with fair skin, and black hair and eyes and swarthy skinned "black Irish" - all of which produced me - black wavy hair, fair skin and blue eyes (no freckles). By the way, is it a fallacy that most Irish tend to have thin lips rather than the Angelina Jolie type? I've always envied gals who had those lush lips! That's as far as I've researched my gene pool, but there's also some English in there, so I guess the Irish DNA hunt wouldn't work for me. Or would it? And I've been under the impression that the DNA test was only effective for men. Is that correct? Thanks! Fran Weeks
