However, I take your point Nev.

The strange thing is, I'd always assumed that the swarthy good looks I inherited came from from my mum's side (my maternal Nan had a bit of a hooked nose) and a couple of cousins from that side look a bit 'Araby', but my mum's DNA indicated nothing of that type. The North African DNA in my daughter wouldn't have been a surprise if it also showed in my mum's profile, but it doesn't, so very strange.

This has got me thinking and I'm going to order a test for myself for Christmas.
