C., you are right that did happen, although I have never heard them called Black Irish. Generally, those Irish are from the southern coastal counties. Some of my friends’ families are from those parts of Ireland, and they have the pale Irish skin and dark curly hair. They look very European. Don’t forget that the men that sailed during the Armada in 1588 were from Spain, and look like Italians. For some reason others who have asked this question think that the Spainards looked like American Latinos, who generally are darker than people from Spain, due to Native American influences in their ancestry.
