    I’m no ethnologist, but I can tell you what my family legend is, for good or ill. My mother is Black Dutch, which is supposedly the same derivation, but in the Netherlands rather than Ireland. The family story is that it’s the influence of the Spanish and Portuguese who came ashore as survivors that introduced dark eyes and black hair into the gene pool. True? I don’t know for sure. It’s just what my dark haired dark eyed dark skinned mother told me.
