I come from a totally brown eyed Italian family (both sides). Of course today, with my generation and after, marrying someone other than Italian, I know there are some blue or green eyed relatives.
However, back in my parents day, if any kid was born with blue or green eyes, I think they'd blame the milkman and there w/b hell to pay.
