lilysvn, Me, too! I resemble my late father the most in the family! I also wish I resemble my late mother. My 42 yr old daughter Tanya resembles both of her father Dave and me. Her 2 children Isla aged 8 and Finn aged 6 resemble both of her and her hubby Lincoln.

John Riley, my sister Maria and brother John are biological fraternal twins. As the oldest sibling, I resemble Maria more. She does not resemble John at all.

Reese Witherspoon looks young enough to be her daughter Ava’s older sister. I meant to say Reese looks too young to be her mother.

I have a picture of my great aunt in the early part of 20th century. It's me in edwardian clothes. Weird

Sometimes I see a photo of me and I think what was my mom doing there and I realize it's me!

Julie Allen

My uncle and my sister both has a bald spot on their heads that was the same size and in in the same place.

I see my mother in the mirror looking back to me.

Very interesting photos. Thanks.

Gee! I have a twin brother and we are fraternal twins not identical twins. We do look a lot the same but some of these generational pictures are so much more the same than we are.

Amazing photos, thanks for sharing

John Riley

Can’t comment on family similarities as my twin sister and I are adopted fraternal twins.

Linda Drayer

I DO look like my Mother! She has died now. Her birthday was 6-11 and mine is7-11.

My second cousin looks remarkably like her great-great-great gramma in a photo from the late 1800s.

I'm 72 now and my Dad died aged 48 in 1962. Since some time back,every morning when I had to shave I would see someone staring at me who looked like my Dad, only to realize that I resemble him very much. I've become so conscious that my wife and I do not do anything naughty in the shower or where there's a mirror and have him staring at us.

A picture of me at the age of 18 months looks very like my grandson now at the same age, conversely having had a beard and long hair most of my life when I shaved it all off last year I began to look just like my father!
