Actually, I'm part Irish on one side of my family myself, so who knows, I might do a story about mixed-race people of Irish descent, of which there are many. Even though Ireland was never a colonial power (it was a colony), when the Irish migrated to the so-called neo-Europes (Australia, New Zealand, and the Americas) they did often intermarry with people of other races. Good luck on your project. Thank you for your comment, Kevin.

I have recently been moved to research my Irish family history. I'm sure I will write up like you one day. I hope can do a good a job as you. Well done. A moving story.

That's a great idea. Now, I just have to find a phone book from Copenhagen. I don't know if she is still living there, but it's a start. There maybe members of her family still living there and maybe one of them could help me locate her. Thanks again. Thanks, Emelia! That’s a great idea.

During my time in Germany, I visited Copenhagen often. During one of my visits, I began a relationship with a girl. This was many years ago and I often wonder if I fathered a child during that time. Does anyone have any advice as to how I can find out if I did? I am an ex U.S Air Force veteran. During my time in Germany, I visited Copenhagen often.

I am happy you felt at home in a Danish family. I think as more people like you, or my daughter, emerge, maybe the idea that all Scandinavians are blond-haired and blue-eyed will go by the wayside. By the way, I made a wonderful Danish dessert called Veiled Farm Girls with cream, apple sauce, and bread crumbs. It's in a great Scandinavian cookbook called Kitchens of Light. It has a number of good recipes, so you should check it out. Thank you, Suzanne, for your comments. I am happy you felt at home in a Danish family.
