Talk about family likeness

[Edward]

Spitfire.... a couple of the kids in the front row there look seriously bored.... I suppose that was back in the days when all photos need a fairly long exposure?

I don't have any photos available, but I'm told I am almost a clone of my grandfather. Not just in looks, but in tastes as well. Apparently I even have similar tastes food-wise.

I gather this can happen. My three year old nephew is the spitting image of little brother at that age, but my mother insist that in terms of character and mannerisms he's more like me. (Good luck with that, little bro..... he'll be an eccentric, awkward little begger from an early age is that's the case! lol ).

My guesse is between 1900 - 1915.

Here is the rest of my family:

Maybe somebody can date it more precisely than I am able to.

That's brilliant Søren.

Cecilie's Mum has one of her family very similar. They don't do photos like that anymore!

...and not much to smile about in those days either!

Only one smile - the little kid in the middle of the picture (behind the old woman) - or is he just plain scared?

He looks scared! I come from big family (9 sibs, 5 married, 9 nephews and nieces) and it's hard to get us all still and smiling for a picture even with our point and shoot cameras.

I'll try to find a picture, but I look a lot like my paternal aunt.
