This is a photo of me taken in 1948, and the other is my mother taken in 1931. I hope they come out OK.

I think I'm beginning to look like my mother ... and my oldest daughter is starting to look like me !! 

But how about these two ?  One is my grandmother, c.1885, the other is her daughter, my mother, c. 1912 ... I think the resemblance is quite startling.

But does Meldrew speak fluent Welsh (as well as four or five other languages)?

When you've seen Gran Harriet you've seen my mum, when you've seen my mum, you've seen me...the only difference is my hair is not that dark raven of my gran but a lighter shade, and I have ears from the other side of the family, big ears, but FLAT ears.
All the boys on that side had ears like radar dishes, and they passed it on. Gran Sarah once accused my mother of strapping my ears down, which she didn't. After seeing the picture of Great Gran Emily, I know where I got them from all right. ;)

Me - I think I am just me -although an old photo of my gg-grandmother Coles shows that I have her hands - extremely badly distorted with arthritis. That was most interesting to see.

I always thought that my children took after their father's side of the family, but now my daughter is grown up she does look a little like me in features although not colouring. She has olive skin and dark hair - I'm fair and mousey!

Have a photo of my children as tiny tots with thier paternal grandparents and a young cousin. People who see the photo usually say that the brother and sister are the two children on the left - but they are wrong. The little boy and the little dark haired girl are my two......dee

My mum always reckons I look like my dad.......... but my mum as youngster I can see me and my daughter ................. but my ex inlaws always reckon my daughter looks like their side .........

We must all have features related that spark recognition in various parts of the family  :-\
