Are Enya and Sissel Distant Cousins?

**Newgrange** · Tuesday, March 16th, 2004

Enya is Irish and Sissel is Norwegian, both are great singers and have similar appearance.
question:why do you think they look so much alike ?
Vikings bringing back Irish wives to Norway or they share prehistoric ancestors that inhabited north western europe many thousands of years ago.

I would guess they more likely share the same pre-historic ancestory.
I would guess they both equate to the Paleo-Atlantid / Tydal race.

In my eyes, Enya look like a typically, lean, long - and relativey narrow faced North Atlantid. I like her. She has even the same eye colour as I

. I do not know if that is some sort of grey-hazel or green-hazel.

Do you like North Atlantid women

?

I find her attractive too, although her hair colour is a bit too much on the dark side.

I don't see the similarity... honestly. Enya is clearly a Nordish type, Sissel looks east-mediterranean.

Is Sissel Norwegian?

Don't you think that she is a Strandid (strand=beach, West Coast Norwegian Alpinid)

?

If I didn't know she's Norwegian, I'd have thought she's east-coast Bulgarian

Enya on the other hand is clearly east-coast Irish

typically Northwestern European.

Sissel was born in Bergen, Norway, on the 24th of June. 1984

Enya, born Eithne Ni Bhraonin on May 17, 1961, spent most of her childhood
growing up in Gweedore, Co. Donegal, Ireland.

23 year age difference, I thought maybe a ten year difference.
