The only way you will know for sure is to do your research into your family history!. You might indeed have ancestors from Greece or Italy, but you might also have German, or even English or Russian!. It depends on when your ancestors came into the country and from where, and if you will be able to trace the blood lines back to their origin!. Egypt is a nation of great history!. I hope that you take up the challenge and find your roots by doing a little digging into your own past!.

Are all of your relatives light skinned!?
If just one side is and also Egyptians, the other side might be of Roman (Italian) descent!. With mixed cultures, where one concured another you can have different skin types, eye color, color and feel of the hair, etc!. within the community!. When the two cultures join then you get these differences showing in descendants of the original couple!. And there's that old resessive gene that pops up from time to time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
