Reply to comment by SaltTheCat in My granddad's great grandmother - 1868 by SaltTheCat

Out of curiosity, what is her ethnicity? Is she Caucasian?

She's Jewish. She looks to have a really dark compexion in many photos, but her dad (there's a drawing of him on his wikipedia) looks a lot more typical Swedish from that time. She has such an interesting look, doesn't she?

Yes, that is exactly why I was asking. She looks like she has some "color" to her so I was curious.

By the way, I forgot to say: your great-great-great-grandmother was beautiful! :-)
