Do u look similer !!!

 Hello ,
       Now most of us have seen a picture or two of our ancestors,
        Have you noticed any similar features with you or your children ?
        Heights
        deep set eyes
        long nose
        round face
        Etc

This is me ,my son and my Grandfather ! 
         Do we look similer ?

[Nick Carver]

I wish I could do something similar. I have never seen a picture of my grandfather who died young in 1939, but a relative who knew him says I look very similar.

More to the point and in keeping with the spirit of the thread, my sixth cousin, who I made contact with earlier this year tells me that certain facial features in his side of the family are also found in my side of the family. Considering how many generations we have to go back to a common ancestor, that is quite remarkable. I suppose that in a sample size of (say) 30 people, a feature shared by 5 or 6 could well be shared by a similar proportion in another branch of the family, even over such a long period of time.

I said it before and I'll say it again Mr. G - there is a striking resemblance between you and your grandfather, but I think your son is more like Mrs. G.

My husband, his father, his g. grandfather and gg.grandfather are all 'spitting images'.   I wish I could find out something about his grandfather to know if he 'fits the bill'!!

You look very much like your Grandfather G, but your son has a look of Elvis, it must be because Mrs. G was surrounded by pictures when she was expecting him !

My sister as a baby was the spitting image of my Mum.  My brother is the spitting image of my Mum's uncle, and I am the spitting image of a young Elizabeth Taylor

Hi

What some great photographs !

I have read this poem which I would like to share with you..

I am the family face:
Flesh perishes, I live on,
Projecting trait and trace
Through time to times anon,
And leaping from place to place
Over oblivion,

The eternal thing is man,
That heeds no call to die.

By Thomas Hardy know as "Heredity"

Images always leave me quite speechless as they say so much.
