In reading some of the other threads like the one about curly hair, it seems some of y'all are really apt at telling what type of features your children have (hispanic vs. native mayan vs. whatever other types of racial heritages etc.) Can you tell me what the differences in the features are? I may do the DNA ancestry thing just for fun, but I'm curious whether it would really tell me much about her immediate history and Guatemala seems to be comprised of so many different racial backgrounds from european to several native groups to even an asian population. I've read the website for the DNA service and I'm not sure it would really help me understand our daughter's immediate heritage? We get all sorts of interesting comments (non-insulting) about our daughter's features and it makes me curious. When she was a baby, several asian families who saw our daughter out with just my husband assumed I must be asian and asked what part of asia I was from. (But my daughter doesn't have the single eyelid feature and I'm not really sure what they saw that would make them think she looked asian.) Maybe they were just as bad at picking out features as me. LOL
So anyway, what are some distinguishing features that make you think your children are of one heritage or another? And can you please offer your opinion on what features you see in my daughter Susanna?
Thank you!
