[quote:Anonymous Coward 14433785:MV8xODQwNjUzXzMwNjkyMzM5XzE4MzA0NzBB] [quote:Anonymous Coward 3926444:MV8xODQwNjUzXzMwNjg5NzQzXzVBQ0MzRUJF] Some friends of ours, have 8 children. The mom and dad are 100% black as they thought they were. BUT 2 of their natural born kids have unusual eyes. 1 boy has bright green eyes and the other boy has blue eyes. It turns out that many, many generations ago, an Irishman married into the family and spread his genetics on the mom's side and on the dad's side, there was some slavery with a child that was a product of the slave owner/master and one of his slave girls. SO-a couple hunded years later or more, BINGO,.... a black family produced a blue eyed and green eyed baby boys. [/quote] I bet they are stunning when they grow up. [/quote]

I took genetics in college and I realize that there are recessive genes, but no one in either of our families has blonde hair and no one has blue eyes.
I did my DNA testing to make sure that she was mine, and it came up with 99.98%. I'm interested in what may cause this because recessive genes can't pass that many generations. How can this be?
Editing because our family trees on both sides all the way to our great grandparents had brown hair and brown eyes. My wife was a cheater during our marriage, that's why I did the testing.
Recessive genes come out, yes, but how many generations of brown haired and brown eyes people does it take to make a blonde haired blue eyed little girl?
