I'll start by saying it's my family and this is no slant on redheads BUT I did think the ginger gene was recessive?
My Mum has 11 grandchildren and x8 of them are redheads.
None of my mum's kids are actually redheads though.
My sister (darkhaired) and her redheaded partner have 5 kids - all ginger!
My brother (darkhaired) and his strawberry blonde partner have 4 kids - 3 of whom are redheads.
Myself and my partner are darkhaired, we have one darkhaired child and one bald one...
Just wondering if anyone else has a high number of redheads in their family?
It's unusual to have 100% of your kids being ginger if parents are darkhaired and redheaded right?
(my sister and SIL both refer to their children as ginger so it's not being used an offensive term here)

AIBU?
To think this is a very high number of redheads for one family?
