I never knew what she looked like until I found an old 4 inch X 4 inch negative among my Mum's effects after she died in September 4 th 2008. I developed that negative. It was rather disturbed by it at the time.
The woman in black in the prompt-photo isn't identical in the same way...but certainly near enough to comment on ..................

Strong resemblance! We can't get away from family, right? xoxo
There does seem to be quite a resemblance between your great-grandmother and your mother! Not sure about the woman in the prompt picture, however. Possibly a little bit - but then you would have much more of a feeling for that. :)
Quite a resemblance. I wonder if they looked as much alike when they were younger? I notice with myself and my friends and their siblings, they look more alike as they age. Everything sags in the same way.
This post resonated with me as I lost my Mom last month. There certainly is an incredible resemblence between your great-grandmother and your Mum! I wonder whether your great-grandmother's photo was taken around the same time as the prompt picture...the coats/collars are so similar.
Molly I am sorry for your loss X Helen Yea! I seem to have turned into my late-Father ! Nightingail maybe it was the coat in the prompt!!!!! Savvy Yes! our Family follows Us not visa-versa!
I've never understood the cliche comment about newborn babes: "Ooo, he/she looks just like...!" Babies change so quickly and lack any patina of age, so who can really know? But as we mature the likenesses come out and only then do we really see the ancestor that slumbers in our genes.
Yes, that is quite a resemblance. I never really looked like my mom - until middle age, when I looked in the mirror and she was looking back at me!
Good music and yes, they look alike.
