My grandfather's Mother, I believe it was, was an orphan. She lived to a fairly advanced age and was very dark complected. My grandfather also was dark complected. Dad always thought she was half Native American but I'd say from the picture I saw she could have been more than that. I am fairly dark too and my dad, and half my siblings and half my kids and two of my grandkids. (so far)

But apparently from the genetic results not.

The walgamuth ancestors came from southern Germany, Nuremburg, and the romans conquered it so there are a lot of dark complected southern germans so perhaps that is all of it.
