Mugshots, made publicly available by law enforcement in Raleigh, North Carolina, provide an interesting insight into the vast array of phenotype variety in that area. There are a number of things that catch my attention in some of these mugshots, and I have decided to post these photos, on an occassional basis, to this thread.
Things I am interested in discovering in this particular population:
-Particular evidence of Scotch Irish (or Celtic) ancestry
-Particular evidence of Nordic ancestry
-Native American input in both the white and black populations
-levels to which African ancestry might display itself in the white population
-anomalies, or curiosities, ranging from extreme face features to unusual mixing of (perhaps) disparate groups such as Italian and black, Chinese and black, etc.
-Particular evidence of Jewish ancestry in both white and black populations
I also would like, at some time, to reveal the local peculiarities that distinguish the more antique Anglo-Saxons of this region from the newer transplants, this latter group having inundated the Raleigh area over the past 15 years. Note: Raleigh, NC, is the 4th fastest growing city in the USA at the present time.
Here's my first selection of mugshots I've collected up to this point, over the past several days:
