Do you see any family resemblance with your ancestors (yourself or anyone in your family)?

Or do you look at the photographs sometime and think how different you look compared to anyone on that branch of the family?

photo's of my neice and me at the same age are that identical it's spooky.
me and dad sort of looked alike but it was a photo from a 2nd half cuz of her dad that I realized how much photos show. Her dad a half cuz (or summat) pic wise looks identical to my Dad, not just in looks but in pose.
** my 1/2 cuz took photos of me home and was told don't she look like your dad.

My son is the living walking image of my father who died 2 years before he was born. The GP who delivered him was very fond of my father and after telling me I had a son he said he's your father come back!

Found a photo of my dad's mother a few years ago when she was about 17 and wondered who she reminded me of - until my OH picked it up and asked how old I was in the photo!

I have a photo of my paternal grandmother and I'm very like her. I also have a beautiful photo of my paternal great grandparents and my nephew looks very much like one of the children and my brother resembles another of the children. I have photos of my mother's cousins who she has never met and she is very like them.

Like Hazel, my granddaughter is so like her 3x great grandmother it is uncanny. Took 5 generations to get a genuine reproduction.

We always said that my daughter was the "spit" of her Dad until my Mum unearthed a photo of my Dad at about the same age. You would have thought it was the same child, including the blonde curls and the dress!!
