Many parents wish for their children to have the same appearance as they do. It’s wonderful to hear “He has your eyes” or “Your daughter grins just like you do” from friends, relatives, or even strangers. While there is a resemblance in most situations, it is only visible in some aspects; in others, family members are a carbon copy of each other.
“My mom and my sister 2000/2021”
“My mum and I have a lot in common.”
“Do my sister and I have a similar appearance?”
“My father’s mother and I, separated by 70 years”
“Can anyone perceive a resemblance between myself and my great-grandfather?”
“Me and my paternal grandfather.” “Until I saw his father, I believed I didn’t look anything like my father.”
“1995 mom and 2013 me, 18 years apart”
“My great-grandfather and my dad — genetics are CRAZY.”
“My grandmother at the age of 18 and me at the age of 22”
“I’m aware of the origins of my lips and nose. My lips were always assumed to be inherited from my maternal side, however these are completely paternal!”
“At the age of 19, my mother and I”
“At the age of three, my paternal grandma and I”
“It’s just my dad and myself.” I met my father when I was 17 and was told for years (I’m now 27) that I looked absolutely like him.”
“Ancestry assisted my father in discovering his paternal ancestor!” My father was born in the 1960s and had no idea who his biological father was growing up. We discovered his father had died after purchasing a DNA test for him! Is it just me who believes they might be twins?”
“Me as a baby and my son”
“This past weekend, I was able to locate and meet my father and brothers thanks to a DNA test.” I never imagined such a fantastic experience at 35 years old, having been adopted at birth!”
“I made this for my daughter because she didn’t understand why everyone says we look alike.”
Is there a member in your family who looks exactly like one of your older relatives?
