It's often been said that if not for the vikings, there'd be no red-headed Irish.

If you're ever up for some entertaining reading, look into the Jomsburg vikings.

My wife's mother is Sweedish and all her ancestors are either Swedish or Norwegian. Not a red-head in the lot.

But I love to wear my kilt to family reunions. Avoids all the stupid, "What do you do?" questions.
