Family resemblance

Wow that's quite a resemblance! I get told quite often I look like my maternal grandmother. Unfortunately she passed away aged 26 (when my mum was only 2 and her sister only 3.5) so sadly we never knew her. I can see it a bit in photos.

People say I look like my mam but I can't think that's unusual!

This is her holding me on my Christening day. She's 29.

And me aged 29. I don't think we're exceptionally alike visually, though - I reckon it's our personalities that are most similar.

Kharv you do look like your mum!

Everyone says I look like my mum. In fact they say we look like sisters. She loves it, obviously!

Anyone whose friends with me on Facebook will know that me and my daughter are like twins!

All my family say my niece looks just like me. When she was younger and I took her out, everyone used to say how she looked just like mummy! They were shocked when I said I wasn't her mum but her auntie! She often tells me we're twins but just different ages. In fact we're so alike facially and personality wise...she even does things I used to do without knowing I did them! She often stands on one leg, with the other making a triangle (foot on other thigh). No idea where she got it from, but until the middle of uni, I used to do this too, although she would never have seen me do it!

It seems to run in the aunt line in my mum's family, although I am like my mum, I am so like (and apparently always have been) like her sister who passed away in 1997 (as you can imagine for my mum that's been hard! Esp. On things like my wedding day!). Mum is the spit of her aunt too.

I don't look like anyone! Slightly more like my mum but still not very alike. My sister, brother and Dad all have very dark hair, pale skin & blue eyes and I've got dark eyes, more olive-y skin and much lighter hair. In family photos I think I like my sister's friend she's dragged along to keep her company!

Absolute carbon copy of Daddy here!

Apparently I look like my Dad's half sister:
This is me and my sister with her

I can't see it personally.

You and your mum really do look alike.

I don't think I'm the spit of anyone in my family somedays I see my mum in me some days I see my dad in me, If anyone I think me and my sister look alike the most.

Me and the sis

I look more like my dad than my mum. Coming from such a mixed family means no-one really looks 'the spit' of anyone in another generation.

My mum has three sisters and all look similar. When I was very little I crawled up to one and said "Mummy!", when she looked down it took me a second to realise it was my auntie not my mummy and I cried! When my mum takes my cousins out she jokes that people must be judging her as it looks like she's got kids from several different dads (Chinese, Indian and white).

There are some funny 'fleeting' likenesses caught on camera. There's a photo of my auntie in my grandma's house that I genuinely thought was me when I first saw it.

You have such a beautiful family K ?

Every one tells mum and I we are so similar!

Not the most recent photo but we look nice! then my eldest brother gets told that he looks like my mum too. (in a manly weay) I think my other brother is more like our Dad.

You do, Mrs Bass! What a gorgeous, glam mum you have!

Aw lovely photos ladies!

Mrs Bass your mum is how MOTB models should look - not some 25 year old! Seriously, what is that with those models!!?

Thanks ladies, i only hope i look as good as here when im in my mid 60s!

ATB- I totally agree, really stupid plus non of the outfits suit the young models!

I think I look most like my Dad, especially before I put weight on and people who know us agree.

My mum and Nan looked very alike, but someone who knew both of them said she could see them in me which I cannot see, even if I see pictures of Nan & mum when they were younger.

I look a bit like my mum. My dad looks exactly like his father did when he was young.

I don't know - people have said I look like my sister, but with the difference in size I just can't see it (she's a size 6 and I'm a 14/6!!). I think I look like my mum, though, but here's the three of us:

Love seeing all the pics, can see laods of resemblances!!

We have strong genes on my dads side so me & 2 brothers are very like my dad.
My boy looks very like my brothers but people say he's the double of OH and not like me haha.
At different times we all resemblance my mum I suppose

Venart you and your sis really do look alike-lovely whats a dress size or two matter ?! eta and your Mum

Wit woo Bassy- you and your ma look beautiful.

Agree Kharv you look like you mum- v.pretty.

Tricks and K- you and your girls both gorgeous also.

I love seeing everyones pictures.

I am more similar to my Dad:

This is something I've been thinking a lot about recently. I am the spitting image of my mum, to the point where it's difficult to tell who's who in photos of us both as children (although the black and white is a good giveaway!).

However, I also look very similar to my half sister on my dads side, yet nothing like my dad... It messes with my head!
