If you look at a pic of my dad and my brother hen they were both around 10. They look like twins. Both of them have the same build. 5'9ish 230ish. I'm the black sheep of the family. I have my mom's nose and nothing more.

That's true for my father's family. We all look similar to each other - with a few exceptions. A few years back I discovered several old pictures, and one of the first items noticed was how surprisingly similar we looked to each other. The oldest photo was of a great great grandfather and there was little doubt we were related.
