Not that I can think of, and I can't think of any redheaded friends or acquaintances, either. I wonder what percentage of the population are redheads?

Edit: Google says 1 to 2 percent of the world's population.

A few ginger reds on my husband’s side. Nephew has a 6 year old daughter with ginger orange red hair.

No, but my GF's sister is...

I grew up a ginger and my grand son has red hair, and we are beautiful. Two female red head nieces not so beautiful.

Yes mother-in-law was an Irish redhead. Several of her grandchildren have red hair. Except for mine and DH's.

Our children are blonde and Auburn

I was a green eyed redhead in my younger years. Now light brownish gold. I am now 68 & I've never had a gray hair.

I have two cousins with red hair: brother and sister. They're Dutch-Danish. My nephew has Auburn hair, it was really red as a baby. He's Dutch-Icelandic-Canadian.

My friend, her son and granddaughter all have red hair.

At least half of my family are red heads. I was but finally decided to stop fighting the fade. 40 years natural/20 from a box . It's a recessive gene.

2 of our 4 kids are redhead. It skipped two generations on both sides. Both thick, gorgeous, dark red hair..... they got a LOT of attention for it when they were young. People would comment on it everywhere, which was interesting (to me).

Interestingly, though the redheads have brown eyes, our other 2 kids have blue eyes, and neither one of us has blue eyes. In fact, only one grandparent has blue eyes, and all the rest are brown eyes. You never know what you're going to get!

We have quite a few in the family on both me and my husband's sides. I gave birth to two.

SIster and her son both redheads and tempers.

My mothers mother did as well as my Husbands mothers father. Our son is auburn kissed at the front of his crown (bangs area if he had them). they are the prettiest highlights and all women are jealous, including myself.

I have always wished that I had red hair. Sigh.

Three cousins once removed have/had red hair. Danish.

Our neighboring town has a ”redhead” festival! Interesting, because it was first settled by Swedish immigrants, then Italian immigrants (mostly from Modena), and lately Hispanic immigrants.

No redheads, mostly blonde and blue-eyed and some brown-haired/brown eyed.

We have Scottish strawberry blondes in my family. I was born with red hair, but it all fell out. I was bald for months, but it grew in blonde and stayed blonde.

Lots of redheads in my family. I have nieces, cousins, 2nd cousins, my Dad's sisters were redheads. My Mom always said I had redheaded skin and always kept me out of the sun. The redhead gene must come from my Dad's English/Irish side. My Mom was Scottish/Irish and had dark olive coloured skin like most of my other siblings except for me and one of my brothers.

Redhead here. Not copper but auburn. Blue eyes and very white skin. My dad was a redhead, as was two aunts and paternal grandmother. I remember as a kid hearing people remarking at my hair. On a trip to China a young girl - at Tienanmen Square - could not stop staring at me and was scolded by her parents. She came over to look closer and I signed to her - asking if she wanted to touch it. She did and we both laughed along with her parents. Lovely moment. Dad's family was Russian where the red is common. Met a family from Odessa, his hometown, and the whole family was redheads. Only my third son had the red hair but all three sons have red beards and light skin and light eyes, they carry the gene. My granddaughter has almost red hair and all of us are blessed with thick curly or wavy hair. Some redheads do not get gray, I am white in the front - around my face - but stuff in back is still dark. As a child my best friend was a ginger - we must have been a sight walking together.

No….

Ginger hair, blue eyed grandson. No freckles! His mother, my DIL, has gorgeous red hair, also no freckles.

My Dad was a bright red head until middle age or so, then just kind of a reddish brown.

He lived to his mid 80's and his hair never went full gray. Lots of freckles when young,

I was told.

His Mom was a full on red head. My hair was very reddish until I was about 8 or 10, then

went to light brown. My Dad had 5 siblings and one sister had red hair all the years

I knew her until going gray.

I always loved red hair so when I decided it was time to do something about the dishwater blonde hair turning grey I became a redhead and loved it.

There can be a lot of prejudice about red hair, I’ve never understood why. We had a really good student at the school where I work, a lovely young man who was always polite, and the then department head (who is not a nice man) used to tease him about his red hair and compare him to a redheaded Australian female politician, kind of like Australia’s answer to Marjorie Taylor Greene. I thouight it was very hurtful and inappropriate, so I used to tell the student I loved his red hair and he should be proud of it.

No reds, but one of my sisters has the most beautiful red highlights when the sun shines on her brown hair.

My cousin Robin, a male, is a true redhead. I often dye my hair auburn, and really like it.

My mom was a redhead and so was her brother, out of seven kids in that family . She had freckles galore. I got the freckles, but brown hair with red highlights. I though the red haired gene had faded away until my greatniece turned up with strawberry blonde hair. Funny, because my greatniece is named after my mother. No one else is as freckly as my mom and me.

My sister and my brother:

Kevin used to say that his hair was orange, but when he got older, it became redder.

Here they are a bit older. I'm standing behind Kevin.

Lots of cousins have red hair, but blond is more common.

My mom was a redhead, and my middle sister, and my son.

ETA all with blue eyes.

And we have some dear friends who are all redheaded - husband, wife and 2 sons.

My grandmother had dark red hair and green eyes.

Red hair runs heavily on my Mom's side of the family. She had two sisters and two brothers with red hair; the sisters true red hair and the brothers more auburn. I had one sister, and have one nephew and several nieces with red hair. I am about half English ancestry, and the other half is mainly Scots and Irish with some Norwegian added on my Mom's side. Red hair also runs in my DDIL's family and my only grandson has red hair. Red hair runs in my late DH's family, too, so I guess it's bound to show up in our family. Oh, and my granddaughter is having a boy in February and the Dad has red hair !

Just my dog :)

My husband was a carrot top with blue eyes. Now pure white. One brother and sister have brown hair; the other brother is blonde. His mum had red hair with green eyes which i believe is rare.

Lots of them. We're Irish and my mom, all her sisters were redheads. I was auburn and hated it as I grew older and dyed it blonde but the red always shows through. My daughter married an Irish guy who is a redhead and my older granddaughter has the most beautiful long red hair. I'd post a pic. but she would not be happy! She doesn't like people commenting on her hair. She's 17 and her hair brings a lot of attention from strangers. Her hair is just beautiful.

My two grown daughters are red heads. Their father and I are both brunettes. I am an only child, Their dad had blonde and brunette brothers. My grandmother and his also had red hair. I also had 2 great aunts with red hair. Daughter#1 has a red haired boy too.

yes on husbands side DH his dad his one sister one of his brothers several nieces and nephews and a

My sister has red hair with green eyes, which is common among my relatives, and so I never considered it rare at all. My brother has red hair and greenish blue eyes, like our father.

My sister is the oldest, and before she was born, my father said that he didn't care whether it was a boy or a girl as long as it did not have red hair. My sister found out about this had had to live it down her entire life.

My grandmother (father’s mom) had beautfull red hair. None of her thirteen kids had red. Over fifty grandchildren, no redheads. Out of all the great grands, there are two girls with beatiful red hair. Of the great, great grandchildren, there are two boys with red that we know about. One is my beautiful grandson. His baby brother doesn’t, but he’s beautiful too!

@jane__ny I totally get it re your 17yr old granddaughter. My dd is the only one out of 18 grands with stunning red hair, which at 17, she dyed blond. (Her hair perfectly matches our red Merle Mini Aussie, lol. ) However, as she entered her 20s, her tune changed, she loves and appreciates her unique hair. She is hoping for blue eyed red heads of her own, one day. Go figure!

We have a red merle standard Aussie with blue eyes

Five uncles and one aunt on my mother's side were redheads. That aunt was a pistol! None of their children were/are redheads. Two of the grandchildren are redheads. One of the great grandchildren is a redhead.

Tons. Me (although both my sisters are blondes) one of our twin daughters, my dad and his sister, both paternal grandparents, 2 cousins and most of their kids. Scottish/Irish ancestory - all blue-eyed red heads except for my cousin's twin redheads who have brown eyes. (Probably because my blue-eyed, red-headed cousin married a brown-eyed redhead. Oddly enough, my daughter just got engaged to a blue-eyed redhead, so I think the trend will carry on.
