My ancestors came predominantly from England with a few being from Ireland and Switzerland. My mothers blood line comes from the "Tudors" of England. My father side is predominantly Italian, with the exception that his great Grandmother was a full blooded Cherokee Indian. She was kidnapped from her tribe and became my Grandfathers (An Italian soldier) wife
I definitly take after my mothers side more, I'm about as pale as they come without the sun (thank god for self tanner!!) and I have blue eyes and white blonde hair. Most of my other siblings take after my Fathers side and are darker, more olive toned and have darker hair.
