Re: [Cz-L] Jewish roots in Czernowitz

Things are never clear with red hair!
It may be true with King David, who knows?
Vater schwarz Mutter Schwarz
das Kind hat rotes Harr????

Father black hair, mother black hair
the child with red hair.
Could be very suspicious.

A bit of trivia Australian Aboriginal children are born
with redish blond hair and keep it to puberty age.

May I wish everyone in this group well over the fast

Cornel is right, King David is mentioned as having red hair.
Genetically, red hair is not a dominant trait, red haired people can have
children who's hair is another color and people with brown, black or blond
hair can have red haired children.
In many parts of Europe, it was generally assumed that only Jews had red
hair, but this obviously not true, since many Scotts and Czechs have red
hair too. Think of the legend of Rübezahl, the giant from Bohemia.
