Gotta get in on this!
I just love talking about me!!Anyhow,spitting image of Dad now,was Mum's side when younger.Dark complected,eye's,hair.
Mum's side,is still traceable,even in very distant rellie's.
Dad's,just the opposite,sibling's are a mixture of both side's,some 'Gypsie's',some ever so English!
Personalitie's to match of course.
By Golly,I enjoyed that!!

I am a mixture of my parents.........Mum's blonde hair and blue eyes, with Dad's nose, cheeks and chin ;D  It has been said that there are similarities between me and my maternal grandmother (Berlin Bob pointed that out in an old thread some time ago!!!).

My cousin and my Dad are the image of each other and both of them look very much like my Great Uncle John Frederick Jones who was killed in WW1 age 23.  I have a photo of him at home and every time I walk past it I see Dad and Nick.

I look like my mum but I am the total opposite in personality.   My dad and I are more alike in that respect.  I have changed though when I was little I looked like dad.  Only thing is, I have blonde hair and my family all have dark hair.

I can't even say I am the milkman's, my dad was the milkman when I was born.....lol

I expected my children would look at least a  little like each other, but they are all quite different, and it is fascinating to try and work out where some of the characteristics come from.

My OH looks nothing like his mother, but our eldest son does, and so does one of his cousins. He has dark brown hair and eyes  and she has red hair and  blue eyes, but as well as looking like their grandmother they are similar in lots of other ways .. for example similar build and the same long slim hands, both are musical and both have the same eyerolling "Oh Mum!" expression.

Most people think our youngest son takes after my side, but I think he is more of a mixture, and there's no argument about whom my daughter takes after - except for the beard, of course  :)

Hi

I look a lot like my mum, who is very much like her paternal grandmother (my g-grandmother) noticable in the eyes and shape of face.

But I do have my paternal grandmother's mouth and my paternal grandfather's teeth, and quite annoyingly my maternal grandfather's thick eyebrows which for a girl is not good! :-\
