  1. Who is it on the fourth picture from the top? First thing I thought, is that she looks just like you.

  2. I'm honestly not sure if it's my grandmother or my ant Francisca… I would guess my ant, they looked so much alike and my father with them and my brother and I...strong genes and strong ladies they say :)

  3. Yes, i can certainly see the similarities passed down to you. Its facinating and i think also brave of you to put yourselves up for scrutiny. Yes - the 4th and 5th are very like you. I think there´s an idea here for a project - old portraits new portraits, links, something! I´d be interested.... Bxx

  4. In the family roots you'll find more pieces for your own puzzle and it's incredible to see how the genes work. I look alike but my father and my brother look the same! Tell me more about the project idea :)
