Mr G., I see your grandfathers ears match the one of your's I can see but your son looks a great deal like your grandfather.  The same shape head w/long jaw and same eyes.  I have met people I  never knew who knew one or the other of my parents and they say "oh, you look just like your mother/father"  so I must have some dominate features from each parent because there is no way I can look exactly like Both of them.  I think what people see when they look at you is some dominate feature and if that matches the ancestor's they just "See" you looking "Exactly" like that ancestor.   Leagen

Blimey Kooly!! That's really quite un-nerving, I can actually make out an entire figure :o

Anyways...if you take a look at the guy to the left below my name: this is my Grandfather Kenneth Hill. I've never met him although he's alive (long story). Now take a look at my other Grandfather David Hopkins (he passed away three years prior to my birth): http://pub41.bravenet.com/photocenter/album.php?img=75838&usernum=3444388397

Combine them and you get me...more or less. Except for I have Blonde hair and Blue eyes (that's the German in me!!) ;D

The spookiest resemblance in my family is how similar my young Dad looks to my wife's  young Mam!
 
I don't think that they are related - but who knows what further research might throw up?

My birth name site did a survey on physical characteristics, everything, weight , height, hair colour.

I came out as a perfect match

But  I then found out I had a different biological father Perhaps I grew to look like my birth family!
