I can tell you, having lived in Israel for a year, that most Middle Easterners have dark skin and hair. I've been a redhead all of my life and never liked it. I have a number of redheaded cousins, and none of our parents are. I've heard it said we had a red-headed great-grandmother. I wonder if she knows she's still leaving her mark on other generations.Vickie McDonoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09698966142886006577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-54834948640505158462013-05-01T01:20:08.054-04:002013-05-01T01:20:08.054-04:00I, too, had no idea that King David had red hair. ...I, too, had no idea that King David had red hair.

It was blond as a child, but now is medium brown with lots of red highlights. Of my three daughters, one is a redhead. She is more of a strawberry blonde. Her son has red hair, freckles and brown eyes. I think the brown eyes are unusual for a redhead.KayMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09972922396306756344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-76814419129641080492013-04-30T16:03:43.306-04:002013-04-30T16:03:43.306-04:00I must say, I enjoy the red heads in my life.

He was a "carrot" top and married a young woman with gorgeous auburn hair. They produced only two red-haired children out of their five and my dad wasn't one of them. <br /><br />Sure didn't know David had red hair. I always pictured him with heavy, dark hair and the more olive complexion of the middle easterners. Lucille Ball was my favorite red-head and I loved the comedian Red Skelton.Martha W.

I think I remember asking my mom what the word "Titian" meant. Then when I found out, I was sure that was probably the best color hair in the world! Which is good, since my hair turned out to have an awful lot of red in it, looking red-blonde in the summer, and reddish-brown in the fall and winter. :)<br />I, too, married a ginger-haired guy! And you would think, between the two of us we would have had at least one reddish-haired kid!
