Genetics aren't the only thing that can determine a child's characteristics, but the children in these striking photo pairings prove that their ability to define a family's appearance over the course of several generations can be irresistible. In these families, a comparison between a child and their parents or even grand-parents at the same age prove that sometimes, it's all in the genes!
If you've got some childhood photos of your parents or grandparents that look just like you, we'd love to see the comparison! Just edit them side-by-side and add them to this list.

It's not true how much we look like our parents :X http://bit.ly/1B5jEPo
yeah, right...absolutely..I look like just like my dad at age of five
Load More Replies...wow! is amazing, some photo's look like the same person, and how looks skip generations.
Just adding another pic to this awesome collection. copy-paste...9368d5.jpg
Hi, I just wanted to ask sth of great significance for me, I've been searching through different posts of you magazine, there was one that was of my huge interest, parents-children alike, so my question would be that I would love to send my picture so as to be published, also if there's a kind of contest maybe in your magazine now or another one, please I'm very interested, any kind of answer would be helpul, thank you advance! Pd: if anybody knows a website or social networking site for my same purpose now that i know that there is a kind of contest-vote in reddit, does anybody know sth about this or another one? please let me know, thanks!
C'est vraiment incroyable. Ma mère et moi on se ressemble comme des jumelles. Parfois on me demande si elle n'est pas ma petite sœur
I find it amazing seeing granddaugters looking like their grandmothers..
We have old video of my dad and his voice back then sounds JUST like my brother now.
Its weird how most of the daughters looked like their dad. but the same as my niece.. she looked more like her dad
I know is that in each photo the expressions on their faces are almost identical, weird Huh?
