I'm sure ONE of you knows about genetics...
Okay, this is mostly just for shits and giggles, but if anyone knows the scientific data behind this question, let me in on the news 'cause I can't find anything.
Addison has warm, dark brown hair (red undertones), but a bright red beard, and has Irish and Welsh ethnicity. My hair is warm, medium brown with red highlights, but more brunette than red, and I am of German and French descent. Our parents on both sides are all brunettes, with the exception of my father, who has cool, medium blonde hair.
So... what are the odds of Liam being a ginger?

pretty good, actually. seems like you both have genetics for red, making it more possible. mayyybe 1:12? don't quote me on it. it might be less than that, like 1:8
From what I've heard, children tend towards the genetics of their grandparents and/or their generation within the family - stuff tends to skip a generation.
Whatever is dominant will likely win. That's generally the way things work. Not always of course.
