Daughter blonde hair/blue eyes, both parents brown hair/brown eyes
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?

Re: Daughter blonde hair/blue eyes, both parents brown hair/brown eyes
I swore I was adopted because I'm the only one in the family with blond hair and blue eyes (I'm not). I married a dark-haired man who is part Native American, yet our daughter has blond hair and blue eyes. She married a man with dark hair and brown eyes, yet their child is also blond/blue. I've seen this with others families as well. Maybe the genetics we were taught were not always correct about dominant and recessive traits?

You did DNA testing? Don't trust your wife? Anyway, sorry to break the news to you, but grandma cheated on grandpa, plain and simple.

Re: Daughter blonde hair/blue eyes, both parents brown hair/brown eyes
Didn't add the fact that she cheated on me several times during our marriage. I would not have taken the test otherwise. We're divorced because of her inability to control her sexual urges with other men.

So, to continue, any explanation?

I can tell you that my daughter has beautiful blue eyes, mine are green and my ex's eyes were brown. And she is definatly his. She is grown now and still has her blue eyes.
My second daughter has blue green eyes, of course mine are still green and her daddy's eyes are blue. Go Figure.

If you were both blue eyed blondes and she had brown eyes and hair, you'd have something to worry about. Manifesting recessive traits is nothing.

Re: Daughter blonde hair/blue eyes, both parents brown hair/brown eyes
I just thought of this... my son has 3 boys... the oldest has brown hair/brown eyes, second one has blond hair/blue eyes, third one has brown hair/brown eyes. He has been asked over and over again if the 2nd one is his, so finally he had a DNA test done, and sure enough the 2nd one is his. I had a hard time believing it, but its the truth.

Re: Daughter blonde hair/blue eyes, both parents brown hair/brown eyes
it's somewhere in there. my grandparents are both light skinned and they had two very tanned skinned kids. being part spanish, it meant that the arabic/african blood was showing up. grandpa always said they weren't his kids, but they look similar to the rest of the others - only diff. is skin tone.

i also heard that my other grandfather was dark haired, tan skinned, but his parents were blondish/brown haired with green eyes. i never met him, but i see the resemblance in me w/ some of the distant cousins.

a nephew of mine is mixed w/ african american and sometimes his hair would turn really medium brown in the sun. my sis has black hair and so my his dad who is african american. he looks like the dad, but the hair, well, he's got a little european in him showing off. lol

it happens - genetics.

You may be the child's father, but do you really know who your father or grandfather are?

Her hair could still darken. Most of the children in my family had blonde hair as babies. But we all have dark hair now. There are even tribes in Africa where the children are born with blonde hair and it switches to black before puberty.

Just enjoy your blonde headed baby girl and don't worry about it.

We have 3 children one with brown eyes, brown hair, one with blonde hair and blue eyes and one with red hair and green eyes. They are all ours.

I know that the red hair skips generations in our family. My eyes are hazel/green, my husbands are brown and we both have dark hair.

All of us have fair skin that tans easily and hardly burns.

My mother has green eyes, brown hair, my daddy brown hair and eyes.

Hubbys mom has brown hair and brown eyes and looks indian. His dad has blue eyes and light brown hair.

Hope this helps OP and doesn't confuse you more.

[link to www.thenavel_orange.com]

website dedicated to An investigation into the discoveries of Lewis and Clark and other early explorers of America and the terrible acts committed to suppress them

• Provides archaeological proof of giants, the fountain of youth, and descriptions from Lewis’s journals of a tribe of “nearly white, blue-eyed” Indians

• Uncovers evidence of explorers from Europe and Asia prior to Columbus and of ancient civilizations in North America and the Caribbean

• Investigates the Smithsonian conspiracy to cover up Lewis and Clark’s discoveries and what lead to Lewis’s murder

Meriwether Lewis discovered far more than the history books tell--ancient civilizations, strange monuments, “nearly white, blue-eyed” Indians, and evidence that the American continent was visited long before the first European settlers arrived. And he was murdered to keep it all secret.

Examining the shadows and cracks between America’s official version of history, Xaviant Haze and Paul Schrag propose that the America of old taught in schools is not the America that was discovered by Lewis and Clark and other early explorers. Investigating the discoveries of Spanish conquistadors and Olmec stories of contact with European-like natives, the authors uncover evidence of explorers from Europe and Asia prior to Columbus, sophisticated ancient civilizations in North America and the Caribbean, the fountain of youth, and a long-extinct race of giants. Verifying stories from Lewis’s journals with modern archaeological finds, geological studies, 18th- and 19th-century newspapers, and accounts of the world in the days of Columbus, the authors reveal how Lewis and Clark’s finds infuriated powerful interests in Washington--including the Smithsonian Institution--culminating in the murder of Meriwether Lewis.

Re: Daughter blonde hair/blue eyes, both parents brown hair/brown eyes
1. People have throw backs in genes a long ways.

2. Blue eyes and blond hair are probably less recessive than has been thought, as they have maintained throughout history, and you're carrying genes that go back a long long ways at that. But most traits are not dual pairs but a group of genes determine this.

I have blond hair naturally that darkened and brown eyes. But all around me, on all sides of the family, they have blue, blue green, and green hazel eyes.

And out of 5 boys, only 1 has brown eyes, two have baby blues, and two hazel green. Which is high odds too. I only seemed to pass the recessive genes.

3. ET abductions happen alot.

So genetics isn't cut and dried.
