Family Members That Will Never Need To Question Who Their Daddy Is

The Same Laugh

It’s interesting how some individuals inherit only a limited number of traits and physical characteristics from their family members, while others inherit a multitude of them. Have you ever noticed how some people share the same expressions or gestures as relatives in their family? It’s more obvious when people have distinctive expressions or features, such as an amazing smile or a cute laugh.

This adorable little one provides a great illustration of this phenomenon, as they have the same laugh as their parent did at the same age. It’s highly likely that they share other resemblances as well, but their laugh is unquestionably identical!

They Even Dress Alike!

These two well-suited men could pass as father and son, but actually, they are not as closely related as that. In fact, they are grandfather and grandson but boy, do they look the spitting image of one another! They even dress alike!

The fortunate young man standing on the right has not just inherited his grandfather’s sophisticated fashion sense, but he also possesses his cheekbones and dimples as well. It’s so lovely to see an older relative live on through the younger generation of the family!

A New Generation, Another Visit to Stonehenge

Every family has their favorite places to visit. On occasion, it can seem like a family tradition to journey to a particular landmark or place of interest when a new member joins the family after a couple gets married or when someone reaches adulthood.

Stonehenge might be a special place to this family here, or it could just be a coincidence that both mother and daughter were photographed in the same spot, albeit decades apart. Not only are they coincidentally in the same location at Stonehenge, but they have also dressed alike and bear an almost indistinguishable resemblance!

Twin Sisters

Come on, let’s be honest! How frustrating is it when someone approaches you while you’re with your mom or another elderly female relative and exclaims that you two could be twins?! While it’s a compliment for the older person, the younger person often cringes at the sickly remark.

However, this mother and daughter really could be sisters! Or at least, they could have passed for sisters or twins when you compare them both at the same age. It goes without saying that they undeniably resemble each other, with their matching head of dark hair and identical facial features!

Twins from Different Generations?

With baby photos, the thing is that when you look back at them years later, it’s difficult to work out whose baby photos belong to who? Parents who have two or more children frequently remark on the challenge of differentiating their kids from past baby photographs, particularly if they are born in close proximity to each other. These two infants unquestionably bear a striking resemblance, to the point where they could even pass for identical twins!

However, despite the similarity, they are not twins but, in fact, father and son, with the father positioned on the left and the son on the right. The two photos were taken decades apart, but you could say they are twins from different generations!

Like Mother, Like Daughter

One of the most notable contrasts we observe these days when comparing childhood photos is that modern-day parents tend to store them all digitally on their phones or computers. In contrast, previous generations could only take photographs on analog cameras which they had to print out.

While there are undoubtedly advantages to keeping all of your media in a digital format, as people tend to do nowadays, it’s still pleasant to have printed photographs to place in frames or for when you want to compare the similarities between a mother and daughter, as depicted in the photos displayed here.

Like Father, Like Daughter

There is a common assumption that girls inherit more traits from their mothers and boys inherit more traits from their fathers when it comes to genetics. But that’s not always the case, as this father/daughter duo proves. It’s just as likely for a son to take after his mother or for a daughter to resemble her dad.

The little girl captured in the photograph on the right bears a striking resemblance to her father, who is depicted on the left. Everything from their hair color, eyebrows, eyes, cheeks, nose, and smile are identical! Despite wearing dissimilar clothing, there’s no denying that she is her father’s daughter!

Identical!

Some children and grown-ups can perplex you with their physical appearance, as you spend considerable time attempting to discern whether they resemble their mother or father more before concluding that they don’t bear any evident resemblances with either parent. Then there are children who are practically identical to their parents!

See these two here, the picture on the left is the parent, and their child is in the photo on the right. What can we say? The child is evidently an exact replica of their parent! It’s hard to fathom that it’s not the same baby in both photographs!

Same Looks and Same Glasses!

Despite being born as individuals, possessing the ability to make our own decisions and develop our own preferences, there are instances when we can’t help but resemble our parents. While some kids are the total opposite of their parents, others have exactly the same likes, interests, and dislikes. We think that this mother and daughter must have very similar personalities, likes and dislikes too.

As the daughter has matured into an adult, she has progressively transformed into a youthful replica of her mother. When you compare the daughter with pictures of her mother at the same age as she is now, they could be twins! They have the same hairstyle, looks, and even the same glasses!

Passing on the Genes

Despite the fact that these two photographs were captured three decades apart and have dissimilar image qualities, it’s evident that there are striking resemblances between this father and son! The father has well and truly created a “mini-me” of himself with his son!

It’s amusing how some children inherit a combination of their mother and father’s physical traits, while others resemble a particular parent as an exact clone. This little boy is definitely a “copy n paste” of his dad!

Even Facial Expressions Can Be Passed On!

The resemblance between the father and daughter is uncanny – the little girl on the right is a spitting image of her father during his younger years. She has inherited his skin tone, hair color, eye shape and color, nose, face shape, and even his facial expressions! We’re unsure whether or not the little girl’s father still has the same facial expressions.

If not, then his daughter has inherited his gene for facial expressions, perhaps without knowing. Unknowingly, this little girl can’t help but bear a striking resemblance to her father in both appearance and mannerisms!

It’s All About the Bone Structure

At times, certain physical traits skip a generation and get passed down from the grandmother to the granddaughter, resulting in a greater resemblance between them than between the mother and daughter. But in this case, the gene pool is strong, and all three generations share striking similarities! Those cheekbones, though!

Although the grandmother, mother, and granddaughter all have similar hair and eyes – in other words, they do look alike anyway; it’s their cheekbones that are identical. Their exceptional bone structure and enviable cheekbones are a testament to the passing on of great facial features from one generation to the next!

Long Lost Families

Growing up and noticing similarities between yourself and your birth parents or grandparents can be a meaningful experience, but what happens if you were adopted or never had the chance to know your biological parents? Imagine finding a photo of your birth parents and realizing how alike you appear?! Well, that’s what happened to this woman.

She was raised not knowing who her biological mother was, as she had been adopted at a young age. When she finally met up with her birth mother years later, she came across this photo (on the left) of her mother when she was younger and realized just how alike they are!

There’s No One Quite like Great Grandma

The woman on the right was not only named after her great-grandmother but also bears a striking resemblance to her. Despite the significant age gap between them, they look almost identical! With the same name and looks as her great-grandmother, it’s almost as if she is a younger version of her older ancestor.

Discovering a photo of a great-grandparent who looks remarkably like you can be both surprising and heartwarming, especially if you never had the chance to meet them in person. Discovering how identical you appear to an ancestor must be surreal!

Like Mother, Like Daughter

At their age of 24, this mother and daughter duo could easily be mistaken for twins due to their striking resemblance. Though we’re not sure if they still look as similar now, seeing their old photo side by side is quite fascinating. Yet, according to the daughter, that is where the similarities end. Although the daughter looks the spitting image of her mother at 24 years old, their lives are completely different.

The mother in the photo was studying in med school and already married at 24, while her daughter is currently a carefree 24-year-old who is enjoying life.

Like Grandfather, Father and Granddaughter!

This is a remarkable instance of how powerful one’s DNA can be. The grandfather’s distinctive features have been passed down not only to his son but also to his granddaughter. Seeing them sat together in this photo only helps to highlight the strong similarities in their appearances!

What’s intriguing about this instance is that neither the grandfather’s son nor his granddaughter seems to have inherited a blend of features from both their parents. The son is a double of his dad, and the granddaughter is a clone of her dad, which makes them look almost identical!

It Could Be Reincarnation?

It’s fascinating to see how much you resemble a long-lost ancestor when you compare your current digital photo to an old, faded black-and-white image that requires restoration and repair. Even though there are probably generations between them, the resemblance is uncanny!

Black and white photos tend to hide many important features on a person’s face, such as their true hair color and eye color, which can lessen the chance of you seeing any resemblances between you and them. The photo on the right might be monochrome, but even that can’t disguise the similarities between them and their young ancestor on the left!

Two Peas in a Pod

Do you believe that parents experience a profound sense of identification when they see so much of themselves in their own children? Can gazing at their children be likened to gazing at their reflection in the mirror? Or do you think it’s like when you hear your own voice on a recording and don’t immediately distinguish it as your own until somebody tells you that’s what you sound like?

We mean it as a good thing, though. Do we gain greater insight into our own expressions and habits by observing them in our children, given that we are often preoccupied with enacting these behaviors ourselves? This father and son look identical in appearance, but it would be interesting to know if they shared the same habits and expressions too.

When the Genes Skip a Generation

As previously noted, it is possible for DNA to skip a generation, resulting in grandchildren inheriting more physical characteristics from their grandparents than from their own parents. This mother shared a photo, comparing the similarities between her own mom with her daughter.

It must be strange for a parent to create a clone of one of their own parents through their children, especially if you’ve skipped the genes and don’t bear a strong resemblance to your own parents. We’re willing to bet the mother is as beautiful as both her mother and daughter!

Old Family Photos Can Reveal A Lot!

The crazy thing about having elder relatives, like grandparents and great-grandparents, is that we only ever really get to know them when they’re older. Most of us rarely get a chance to witness their younger years, which makes it challenging to determine if there is any resemblance between us and them.

When this girl’s grandfather passed away, she uncovered a photograph of his late wife, her grandmother, when she was younger, and that’s when their likeness was revealed. All of a sudden, the granddaughter and the entire family realized the striking resemblance between the girl and her grandmother!

The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far from the Tree

While it may be comforting to resemble your family members, it can be challenging to accept that you’re essentially a duplicate of one of your ancestors if you value your individuality and uniqueness. Luckily, we don’t think this woman has an issue showing off how much she looks like this older female relative in her family.

The apple didn’t fall far from the tree with these two. It’s unclear how closely related they are, but the resemblance between them is striking. They could be a mother and daughter, or possibly a grandmother and granddaughter.

Double Cheekiness!

As women mature, many develop a distaste for their round cheeks, opting to use contouring techniques to create a more defined look. No matter whether you love or loathe your chubby cheeks now, there is no question about whether they are cute or not when you’re a baby! Chubby little cheeks on a baby are just the sweetest thing!

It can be frustrating for the baby because people just want to come up and squeeze them all the time, but it’s only because adults can’t keep away from their cuteness! This baby inherited the irresistible chubby cheeks from their parent, and what a cute pair they are!

Is This the Same Man?

First of all, we can’t tell these two apart. Not only do they look like twins, but we are also unable to identify who is the father and who is the son. The son not only bears a striking resemblance to his father, but he can also take comfort in the fact that he has inherited remarkably youthful genes.

Admittedly, both men are dressed in the same shirts and sporting the same hairstyle with a clean shave, making the similarities blatantly obvious. Judging solely by their facial characteristics, it’s apparent that they share a close familial bond. In fact, one could easily mistake them for twins instead of father and son!

Inherited T-shirt, Inherited Pose!

The adults in this picture not only share a remarkable physical resemblance, but they also adopt identical poses and wear matching outfits. If we didn’t know any better, we might assume that the father and child in each of the two photos were the same individuals. However, it is not. In the first photograph, the father is sitting holding his baby while wearing a Mickey Mouse t-shirt.

The baby then grew up and had a baby of his own and decided to recreate his childhood photo of himself and his dad. He sported the identical Mickey Mouse t-shirt, grew out his beard, and even struck the same pose!

A Double Take

In some cases, it isn’t until we enter a certain period of our lives that we begin to show clearer signs that we take after a particular parent. At times during childhood, we may bear a stronger resemblance to one parent, but as we age, we tend to transform into the spitting image of the other parent. We’re not sure how alike this mother and daughter appeared before.

However, what is clear is that the daughter looked like a double of her mother when she was pregnant. The image on the left depicts the mother during her pregnancy with her daughter, while the picture on the right portrays the daughter during her own pregnancy with her child.

The Familiar Smile

These two could easily be mistaken for twins! The grandson bears a striking resemblance to his grandfather, who is depicted on the left. The grandfather’s genes of friendly eyes, high cheekbones, and a million-dollar smile are definitely hereditary because they are all clearly visible in his grandson.

You can tell that the pic on the left was taken some time ago by the quality of the photo. Although the photograph has a desaturated tone, it’s impossible to overlook the grandfather’s physical traits that have been replicated on his grandson, almost like a copy-and-paste job!

Eerily Similar

It’s safe to say that this grandfather and his grandson share an uncanny resemblance. From their identical gaze and nose to their oval-shaped face, they bear striking similarities in appearance. However, what’s truly striking about both men is their hair!

It’s clear to see that the pair of them both have an impressive head of hair. Although their hairstyles are different, and the grandson is sporting a more modern-day style in the photo of him on the right, he definitely inherited his granddad’s thick head of hair.

This Mom and Daughter Even Dress Alike!

If you were to quickly browse through these pictures without understanding their purpose, you might assume that they were two photos of the same woman. They even look as though they could have been snapped on the same day, the left during the day, and the right could have been taken at night time.

But you’d be wrong, of course. Throughout our lives, we undergo numerous changes, so it’s difficult to fathom the possibility of navigating through different challenges and experiences, only to end up looking identical to your mother, right down to wearing the very same dress she donned at your age!

Daddy’s Double

Have you ever observed a child or even an adult and remarked upon how they share identical physical traits with one of their parents? Then, strangely enough, when you look again, you begin to see similarities between their parents. Is it their father’s nose they have or their mother’s?

It’s difficult to determine whether those high cheekbones belong to his mom or dad, but we suspect that this little boy inherited them from one of his parents. Although many people believe he looks like his mom, his dad believes he looks just like he did when he was a little boy. By comparing them at the same age of 7 years old, we can discern the resemblance between the father and son.

Keeping it in the Family

Some families pass down heirlooms. While some families pass down their property, jewelry, and antiques to future generations, others prefer to pass on their cherished tricks and jokes to their younger family members. And this one is one heck of a trick! Were they all born with flexible tongues that enabled them to perform this trick naturally?

Or do the older generations sit down with the children in the family and teach them this tongue-twisting trick once they reach a certain age? Regardless of how these three generations acquired their skills, we find it impressive!

Copy n Paste

As we continue to examine these pictures of relatives who bear striking resemblances to each other, we stumble upon even more images of individuals who are the spitting image of others in their family! We feel, looking at these two photos, that you’d be hard pushed to find a mother and daughter who look so alike! The mom’s beauty gene is certainly hereditary, and we can see that the daughter is thrilled to look like her lovely mother.

From their hair type and color to their eyes, face shape, and bone structure, everything about them is identical. The daughter also added that she and her mom look like her grandma, too, although we have no picture to compare her with.

A Tale of Two Beards

What catches your eye in this photo? For us, the first thing we noticed – or at least the most obvious similarity between these two men – was their beards. They have very similar hairstyles and matching beards.

Look again, and you will see that the son has inherited more than just his father’s ability to grow an impressive amount of facial hair. These father and son share the same piercing blue eyes. And if baldness is indeed hereditary, it seems the son may have dodged that bullet.

Like Father, Like Daughter

This photo of a father and daughter is a great example of how daughters can inherit their fathers’ physical traits, just as much as their mothers’. Looking at these two, you definitely don’t need to do a DNA test here to prove that he is her dad! When you imagine a girl who looks like a clone of her father, you’d wonder how it could be possible.

The girl and her father challenge traditional gender roles with their physical features. But that’s the fascinating thing about genetics. Our DNA can pass between genders in our family, with the females still looking beautiful and feminine and the men handsome and masculine, but the resemblance is still evident.

This Grandma and Granddaughter Could Be Twins!

It’s not uncommon for some children to have no resemblance to their parents in terms of physical appearance or personality. You might search for a while and wonder who they take after. Sometimes genes skip a generation, linking a grandchild and grandparent instead. It’s unclear if this young woman takes after her mother in appearance, but there’s no denying that she bears a striking resemblance to her grandmother.

They’re feminine but unique style, beauty, and facial features are well and truly a copy and paste job here! The granddaughter also notes that she shares a similar personality with her grandmother.

A Symmetrical Resemblance

Most people are not aware that their faces are asymmetrical, which means that the left and right sides of their face are not exactly the same. This is why we often claim to have a “better side” when we have photos taken of ourselves.

So you can see just how similar these two women must be for their faces to match up when placed side by side. The younger relative on the left and her older relation on the right have perfectly aligned faces, making it seem as though they were the same person.

Double Dimples!

This picture is absolutely adorable! A proud new father is holding his tiny daughter who bears a striking resemblance to him. The man has a rather unusual dimple on his forehead, which appears more noticeable when he raises his eyebrows. Not only is this rather unusual, but it’s also even more unbelievable that this dimple trait has been passed on to his daughter too.

She also has a small dimple on her forehead, just like her daddy when he raises his eyebrows. She really resembles him!

Thumbs Up!

Fans of the popular TV show Friends might recall the episode where Joey travels to Las Vegas and persistently insists to a croupier at a casino that they are “hand twins.” In other words, they had the same hands. In the episode, Joey claimed it was a rare and wonderful thing to discover your hand twin, the person with whom you share the same identical-looking hands.

It seems like this guy has discovered that he has two hand twins – one of his thumbs looks like his mother’s, while the other one resembles his father’s.

Still Identical, Even in Black and White

Comparing our facial features and similarities to old black and white photos of our ancestors can be challenging, as it’s hard to imagine how they actually looked in real life. Quite often, old poor quality black and white photos can mask a lot, and they can disguise some of our most prominent features.

Looking at these two photos, it’s clear that the two men are related due to their nearly identical facial features and bone structures. Very cleverly, the owner of these photos has desaturated the photo on the right to show off the striking resemblance to his relative’s photo on the left.

Best of Both

This woman has a rare genetic condition called heterochromia, which causes a color variation. Although generally benign, genetic variation can manifest in different ways, such as variations in skin and hair color or differences in eye color. Sometimes, people with heterochromia can even have two different colors in the same eye. When the woman’s daughter was born, little did she know that her mini-me had also inherited the condition from her mother’s genes.

The little girl has a unique trait, just like her mom – different colored eyes. Notice how one of her eyes sparkles in blue while the other is a dark, rich brown color, just like her mother’s.

They’re Definitely Related

From these images, it’s unclear how these two women are related, but one thing is for certain – there’s definitely a bloodline between them. Even though the woman’s picture on the left is in black and white, it is still evident that the two women share identical facial features.

The similarities between the two women are already quite apparent, but the younger woman has taken it a step further by styling her hair just like her older relative in the photo, making the resemblance even more striking! Hairstyle aside, their facial features are almost identical, so there is no denying they’re related!

The Gray Streak

Newborn babies often bear a resemblance to other infants, but it can be challenging to discern any significant similarity to either of their parents. Babies tend to all have the same color eyes, which is a blue or grey color, to begin with due to a lack of pigment and their natural color forms over time.

This newborn baby may be just a few days old, but there’s no denying that they share a strong resemblance to their mother in the photo. Notice the white stripe that they both have along the parting of their hair? It’s actually a unique birthmark that now, both baby and mom have in common!

The Dress Doppelganger

It’s scary but amazing how much these two women look alike! At first glance, one might assume that the same girl is featured in both photographs. However, once you learn the backstory, it becomes clear that they are two different individuals. In the first photo, the mother is getting ready for her wedding day. In the second photo, the daughter is getting ready for prom night.

The daughter bears an uncanny resemblance to her mother! She has inherited her mother’s stunning features, including her beautiful hair, and they even appear to be the same height and weight! It’s sweet that the daughter is so overjoyed to look just like her mom in her prom dress!

Is That The Same Person?

Is that the same person? No, it’s not. The image on the left shows the grandmother, while the one on the right displays her granddaughter. It’s evident that they have a lot of similar physical characteristics, such as hair color, eyes, and even face shape.

But to make their likeness even more obvious, the granddaughter decided to dress up in the same way as her grandma in this photo, and the similarities are uncanny! When comparing their appearances at the same age, wearing similar clothes and hairstyles, the granddaughter looks like an exact copy of her grandmother!

Little Traits Go a Long Way

It’s interesting how some children may feel let down when they don’t inherit specific physical traits from their parents, such as a particular eye color or an attractive bone structure. Yet, in some families, the likeness is passed down for many generations. This girl realized just how much she resembled her great-great-grandfather after discovering a photograph of him.

She immediately noticed that they both had the same distinct gap in one of their eyebrows, and to her amazement, it was in the exact same spot! Apparently, her own father also has this eyebrow gap.
