User blog comment:Leopardkit/Being a Ginger.../@comment-1597182-20100817171236

I'm 1/8 German and 1/8 English, from my Dad's Mom. She was once a ginger, too, which is weird. My dad was a little ginger as a kid, but it faded to brown as a teen. My mom's completely Irish, as far as I know. But she has brown hair, and so does most of her family.
