The other twin is short (5′2″) , built entirely differently (like her Daddy’s mother and sister) , has baby blue eyes (her Paternal Granny and two paternal uncles have them), and wavy dark brown hair (her Mom has very wavy hair but it’s blonde no one in Dad’s family has wave in their hair). She looks a lot more like her father and his family. He has the dark hair, which she got from her Daddy, but the other two have their Daddy’s hazel eyes, but she did get her Daddy’s family set of baby blues (so all three girls got something of his). The short twin (Dad’s family a may have her Dad’s hair color, but she has my personality and my face shape, my nose, and my eye shape, smile, and teeth.

Even the three girls have different skin tones — one has porcelain skin, one olive skin tone, and the other is more of a pinkish undertone. Again, a mix of his and mine mixed heritage. We’re both caucasion, but we have a mix of Irish, German, English, and two types of American Indian in us, and probably some things that I’m not aware of!!!

Fraternal twins get the same gene pool randomness as all brothers and sisters. So it’s no surprise to me that if there’s mixed heritage in either the mother or father’s gene pool that the children’s coloring can run from very light to very dark.

I know a young man who’s mother is a caucasion, blonde, with blue eyes. His father is a black man (although I’ve met the father’s mother and she MUST have some white in her family tree because she’s a very light skin black lady. This young man has a brother with STRAIGNT black hair (like an Hispanic, but none in the family, guess the Mom had the straight hair) and his coloring is a light mocha…. very nice color. The younger sibling that I know is literally fairer skinned than me, has blondish brown hair, blode arm and leg hair, but has some curl to his hair, although not as much as his father, the black male.
