My oldest brother is the only child my mother already had before she met our Dad (who adopted him). Our parents both were very short, but his biological father was very tall. He still stands out, literally, as the only tall of us, he’s 1,89m. All other siblings below 1,70.
I’m 1,55m, the shortest (5f)
Additional info: My mother was a passionate shell collector. In the picture my Dad is holding a bag with her treasures. The two kept up this habit until my Mom passed away in 2014. She collected, he carried them for her. I inherited her huge shell collection.

I guess most of us with italians genes tend to be on the Hobbits scale. Short but vigorous!
