Orlaith there is a fair few gingers at your club.

It is strange how some regions seem to cultivate gingers.

The loughshore communities of Arboe, Ballintyrone and Toome Bridge always seems to have loads of them.

390491 Or a ginger african

I came across quiet a few in south africa and namibia, i suspect a few have appeared in central africa also. as a result of the holy missoners colonisation.

red hair declining.

This is very much a question of numbers. There are few redheads to begin with. Estimates say that only 4% of the human population carries the red hair gene. As if this wasn't bad enough, red hair is also recessive.

Recessive means you have to have two copies of a certain version of a gene to show a trait. (Remember, we have two copies of most of our genes-one from mom and one from dad.) So this means that of the 4% who have the red hair gene, an even smaller percentage actually have red hair.

The gene that causes red hair is called MC1R (melanocortin 1 receptor). No matter what your hair color, everyone has this gene.
