The term Scotch-Irish is an American invention for the Scots that moved to Ireland for nearly a century & then moved to America. So sez the Scotch-Irish mailing list administrator. The question I have in this discussion is about the skin color of the Spanish. Since they are Europeans, their skin color would not be much different than the rest of Europe. They also have Celts with very white skin. (The Mexicans also have the darker Indian skin colors of the tribes native to Mexico.) I also understood the darker skin of Germans came from their Aryan roots? And then in most of Europe would include some Arab bloodlines from the Moor's invasions? Just my thoughts? Susan
