Most of us resemble our family members in one way or another, but some people seem to be cut from the same bolt of cloth.

There’s a difference between looking kind of like grandma and looking exactly like grandma. Of course, it’s hard to truly appreciate how much we resemble another family member until we see a side-by-side comparison. In the cases below, once they saw it, it could never be unseen! Genetics are wild.
1. “I never understood why people said I look like my dad until we found this picture of my paternal grandma.”
2. “My maternal grandmother and me!”
3. “My great-grandfather and my dad.”
4. “Would have never known I was a doppelgänger of my great-grandmother (1894-1961) without Ancestry DNA. Today I connected with my fourth cousin who sent me this photograph. I’m shocked.”
5. “My Norwegian great-grandmother and I favor quite a bit. According to my test (and genealogy maps) my Scandinavian roots are only 26 percent, but her genes must’ve been as strong as her back!”
6. “My father and I at 29.”
7. “Me at age 30 vs. my dad at age 14.”
8. “My paternal grandfather and me. I always thought I looked nothing like my dad until I saw his dad.”
9. “The genes seem to run strong in my fiancé’s family.”
10. “Not copy and paste but more like a washed down version of her!”
11. “My father (left) was born in the ’60s and grew up not knowing who his biological father was. After buying him a DNA test, we found out his father had passed away but DNA does not lie! Am I the only one who thinks they could be twins?”
12. “Grandma’s genes really hit copy n paste huh.”
13. “My direct paternal grandfather, born 506 years apart.”
14. “Me and my great-grandpa 2020/1918.”
15. “Me and my mum!”
There’s no denying these people are related! It’s crazy to see how strong some genes can be. Do you have a look-alike in your family tree? You might want to check some old photos to find out!
