Hi, regarding spooky or what?
while researching my wife's family tree I came across a photograph of her Great Grandmother's sister and family, the photograph had the sister, her husband, son and daughter on it,
"Have a look at this" I said, showing my wife her Great Great aunt and family, my wife gave a gasp and said "look at the little girl" the girl, (born 1919 and died in 1999) is the double of our Grandaughter when she was younger, nothing strange you might think?, however the little girl was born on the 6Th of June, the same day and month as our grandaughter.

Frank.

Crikey that is spooky Frank :o

 A similar thing happened to me. When my grandmother passed away she left strict instructions that a certain photo went with her of her sister that died aged 6 in 1920 amongst other mementos of her life. My brother on looking over the items remarked " Why is a picture of 'M' in there ? M being my daughter.I'd not really seen the similarities until he pointed it out, but it was quite spooky.

It is freaky when you can see family resemblances.

Following on from last nights post, here's one everyone can have a go at  ;D

" What date you were probably conceived on"

Me : My conception date was between 24th December 1965 - 1st Jan 1966... and my parents were probably listening to the record "Over and Over " :o :o :o   by the Dave Clark Five
