If you ever wondered what I have in common with Keanu Reeves and Nicholas Cage, it’s that we may or may not be ageless immortals and/or vampires.
Recently a photo from the nineteenth century was found in a collection of portraits of the time. Many were marked with the names of the subjects, but one was unnamed.
Creepy, huh?
Then there’s the “evidence” that Keanu Reeves never ages.
Then there’s this.
That baby is my great-great grandfather.
Or is it…
Look closer…
Now look at this…
I think that is creepy, considering the first picture was taken after 1883 and the second one was taken in 2009.
I’m probably not a vampire.
Any strange family resemblance in your family tree?
The genes run strong on my Dad’s side of the fambly, for sure, for sure, Good Buddy.
That video WAS creepy: it was the music. Kudos to whoever scored the thing.
And holy shmokes, does your daughter ever look like you as well!
Not right now she doesn’t, because I am not frowning.
It’s been a day here.
Well, that’s a little creepy.
And I knew there was a good reason to hate Nicholas Cage. You know, besides all the lousy movies.
“The bees!”
He is good in Raising Arizona. I will forgive him a lot for that.
Well none yet, but my kids look a ton like me!!! Only time will tell 🙂
I also look so much like my mom that I make her old friends do a double-take.
The funny thing is, the picture above is from my dad’s family.
That is awesome! Even my 17year old son was impressed, and you know how difficult it is to impress a 17 year old young man.
I look very much like my great-grandmother. We didn’t realize this until about 10 years ago when someone pulled out a photo of her that was taken when she was young. She was in her 90’s at this time.
The funny thing is that we could never figure out who I looked like. I didn’t closely resemble people from my mother or father’s side of the family. Both sides pointed out elements of my features that they could claim as their own, but neither side was ever satisfied with the other’s claim. Then we found the picture and the mystery was solved.
There was no denying it, I was a near dead-ringer for my great-grandmother on my mother’s side.
It’s cool how family resemblances are passed down.
One of my cousins looks startling like one of our great-aunts.
Pardon the pun but I’m a dead ringer for my Great Aunt Jane (I’m named for her) who was also an English teacher (creepy).
Love the name Jane. I wish I had another girl to name Jane.
About 20 years ago, when I was dating my children’s father, we were visiting his grand-mother. As I was going from one room to another, a picture of my children’s uncle caught my eye. It was one of those funny vintage pictures that were popular at the time, where you’d go in and get made up like a character from 100 or so years before. Thing is, it wasn’t one of those pictures. It was the grand-mother’s great uncle. You could have blown me over with a feather. The resemblance was uncanny! Down to the dimples!!
My girls didn’t pull much from that genetic side of the family. As it is, we are 5 cookie cutter replicas – or nearly so anyway. 😆 🙄 😎
I love, love, love old family pictures. It’s interesting to see who looks like whom.
Oooo!! I love this kind of stuff. You totally DO look like the lady in the picture. Love that!
And this was a person I didn’t know existed until last month.
Dad just started transferring all the old family history stuff to me.
I totally was thinking (before I got to the part where you pointed out your twin in the photo) “Wow, that gal on the far right looks just like Anne!”
I love thinking Keanu Reeves has been around for centuries. heh heh heh
I flipped when I saw it.
At one point my grandfather was in an orphanage, so I assumed he was an orphan, but he had known family.
My dad has connected with cousins in Minnesota and they gave him all this cool info.
We came across a picture of my husband’s great-uncle circa 1888…it looks exactly like my bro-in-law. I mean exactly. It’s creepy. If I didn’t know my BIL from a little boy, I would totally call immortal on him.
There’s always one!
