    My family has been stumped from where my nose comes from, by this I mean which country of origin does it reflect; for it is oddly shaped. My Uncle and I have the same nose and my Grandmother had told me that it comes from the Netherlands. This would make sense, for after doing extensive research I found it is used for warming cool or dry air and is found in cold or dry places. Knowing DP is an international forum I thought that enlisting some of you would help in my discovery.

    I've heard it being called the Roman or Aquiline Nose and is/was common in Bavaria.

    Please post anything that you would think is relevant and below are the links to the photos:
