For the women's history month Smile for the Camera, "Give Their Face a Place," I wanted to show the family resemblance of the Passel line. I would love to know how far this goes back, as it is amazing to see yourself in photos of your ancestors. Beginning at the top is my great-great-great grandmother Sophia Passel Gress, her daughter Carolyn Gress Williams (my gg aunt), her niece Vera Gress Whitehead (my g grandmother), her daughter Marlyn (my grandmother), her daughter Holly (my aunt) and me. Can you see it?





You look exactly like Carolyn Gress Williams - the 2nd from the top!
ReplyDeleteI see how you look like Sophia Passel Gress. But I can see the resemblance between each photo. I see it in the nose and the mouth.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I can see the resemblance.
ReplyDeleteWow Mandy, very cool. I can see the family resemblence. We have it in my family too, but I've only seen it back to my g grandma. One of these days I will explore my own genealogy. My friend Burt at church has been doing genealogy for years, plus I swear he is related or connected in some way to everyone in town. One of these days we are going to ply "Six Degrees of Burt." LOL
ReplyDeleteHi Mandy,
ReplyDeleteIt is very cool to see resemblace! I think you look exactly like Carolyn Gress Williams!
..and it must be great fun to have all the photos...!
Thank you all for the comments. I agree I look very much like Carolyn. Amazing how genetics work. When I get home I need to put together a collage of photos to hang up.
