Redheads in your ethnicity

[Alenka]

Post some redhead examples of your ethnicity.

What do you think, are they legacy of the Celts?

Also, do redheads generally tend to have more Western phenotypes wherever they appear, even if they are from East Europe? Or not?

I don't know for any redhead Bulgarian celebs, but I know a few redhead ordinary Bulgarians. It's rare though.

Redheads are very rare in Greece, but in my lifetime I have met some natural redheads. One was a ginger with blue eyes, curly hair and freckles. Others were more like, auburn or strawberry blonde with less obvious ginger traits It's rare, but it does exist.

I know maybe 5 or 6 persons with red hair IRL. they are rare.

Fortunately rufosity is not that uncommon among White Brazilians as many of you may think. It is more common among women than men, and it's usually found in people of Western European background, ranging from Germany to Gallaecia. It is also common among Ashkenazim girls. In my family we have two gingers: my grandfather and a cousin, both on the Scottish side of the family. My sister has a reddish brown hair, bur it is not ginger.

The typical combination of the Nordic race: tall stature, dolicho-
kephalie and pale complexion is extremely Yugoslavian language areas
rare.
H. in the northern Croatian areas, we find a fairly closed
dolichoiden small type, with light eyes, blond hair with red component
and snub nose, which I liked called "Zagorjanertypus."

That's what I'd say,blonde hair with red component is present,but trully red not much.
I posted some relatives that would prolly respond to the above described type,and one which is true ginger.

I can think of one famous example

Miriam Leone.




As far as my Portuguese side goes, I can't think of any examples that are famous but I know a redhead Portuguese woman in person

What do you think, are they legacy of the Celts?

I doubt red-head people with non-Celtic ancestry are the legacy of the Celts. It's more genetic mutation than anything. For instance, The Udmurt people have the most red-headed people in the world and they aren't known for being descendant of the Celts.

Also, do redheads generally tend to have more Western phenotypes wherever they appear, even if they are from East Europe? Or not?

You can find redheads everywhere in Europe and even outside Europe, but they are more common in Western Europe (British Isle, for example). But again, they aren't common even in British Isle in comparison to Brit/Irish with non-red hair.

Anyway, an example of Pole from SW Poland with redhead:


Not very Celtic looking, eh?
