How common is red hair in your ethnicity?

[Melkiirs]

What you say lines up with this map very well. R151C is also found in relatively high amounts in West Norway, just like you said earlier. So basically what youre getting at in that the East and North Ridings of Yorkshire dont have as much bright red hair as the rest of North Britain, Wales and Ireland? And R151C is responsible for the firey ginger color whereas R160W is responsible for strawberry blond and auburn, correct? Attachment 126876

According to 23&me (https://blog.23andme.com/articles/no-im-not-irish) only about 50% of customers with two copies of R160W have red hair although I’m not sure if a reddish cast like Grace with one copy has is included in that. Beowulf with one copy of R160H with only slightly higher penetrance than R160W has a light auburn shade around Fischer-Saller III. Sacha also with one copy for that variant has deep brunette hair that photobleaches to red-brown. A variety of outcomes can happen but the presence of R151C will be more impactful than other variants.

Do you know if you carry any relevant variants? I assume you tested as you already know your Y-DNA haplogroup. Your hair looks like a light golden brownish near golden blond so definitely a bit rufous.

Rare. Red beard is a bit more common than red hair.

I Suppose that maybe one of our kids could be redhead. But it's a random

According to a statics on Turkish people I've seen, only 1% of Turkey is natural redhead, which corresponds to 850.000 individuals of 85M Turkey

I wish I was one of those 850.000 individualstoo...

What about blondes

Western Turks are at least as light haired as most Greeks, but other groups are generally darker. Fair and red-haired Turks are concentrated in the Dardanelles and Aegean regions.

Here is the table from Wagenseil‘s study of Anatolian Turks:
