It’s always fun to look back at family photos and talk about their time. There are so many stories to tell and one can only wonder what it was like living during their time. It was so different!
People all over the internet have shared photos of their ancestors, even going so far as recreating them in the hopes of looking like grandma and grandpa. Chances are they do!
Check out the entries below and walk back through time with these photos. Perhaps you’ll end up digging for those old albums after.
These two men look so identical they could be related. This is because they are father and son. from notinteresting
1. Grandma 69 years later
Someone’s grandmother recreated the same photo, 69 years apart. And she still has that charming smile!
2. Dad and daughter
It’s amazing how similar we look to our parents, and most of the time don’t realize it at all. From the eyes to the cheek and the smile, both dads and their respective child are mirror images of each other.
3. 7 whole generations
The blood runs thick in her family. So chances are, the future generations will have the same striking looks as great old grandma does.
4. Back to the future
What do you think grandma would say to her daughter’s daughter had this really happened? Imagine the wonderful conversation they could have had.
5. 65 is the new 30
Whatever youth juice dad was drinking, we’d like some. He looks unbelievable for someone 65.
6. Keep it black and white
Her grandparents must have been really good people for her to look up to them so much. And why not, when love is at stake, no line is too difficult to cross together.
7. Rocking at 20
That free spirit runs in the family. You would think grandma would have a more subdued pose since it was 1931, but take a close look at her. She’s got that fire.
8. Glad the kids cooperated
All those wonderful memories from decades past are stored in old boxes. Not memory cards or social media. Those old boxes have been known to make many adults cry.
9. The magic of prom night
It was a different time, with many prom dates usually ending up in long term relationships that go on to the echange of rings. Let’s hope he’s doing the same with his girl.
10. Weather beaten
Grandpa must have been one tough dude. Let’s hope he passed that on to the next generations.
11. Men being men 3 generations apart
Grandma, mom, and the wife all shared the same sentiments. Panic, anxiety, and perhaps some scolding came out of these photos. But hey, these are memories now.
12. Lots of similarities
Looks are one thing but sharing the same birthdays too? Now that’s just awesome. And we’re glad those good looks run strong in the family.
13. Grandpa on protein
He was an outdoors man with a love of the open country and good food. And so was grandpa. The type you wouldn’t want to cross when things got ugly. Goes for grandpa too.
14. A lot has changed except them
8 decades. The difference between handwritten letters and social media, black and white photos and colored ones, and a whole lot more. But the genes remain.
15. Somewhere far away
Sometimes, places hold memories of our dear ones. Long trips just to get there makes one realize how beautiful life is. So imagine what it was like for grandpa.
16. Throwback
Recreating old family photos is really fun. And if you can find the exact same location of where it was taken, then all the better.
17. Grandpa’s graduation?
This user posted his graduation photo beside his grandpa’s when they were about the same age. Was this grandpa’s graduation too? Would have been cool if it was.
18. Tooting their horn
It’s really sweet to think that the trombone was kept in the family and passed on down to him. Maybe that’s what grandpa serenaded grandma with too.
19. A Mother’s day special
That nostalgic 90’s vibe is so strong in both photos. The effort to produce these photos also prove just how much she loves her mom. As we all should too.
20. 1949 vs 2015
Those lovely bright eyes are very expressive. They’ve both got sweet, warm smiles that could brighten up anyone’s day. It’s such a lovely photo and kudos to her for taking the time to make it.
21. Looking back at the clock
This is just too adorable. They event went for the same poses. Grandpa’s got a lot of years left by the looks of it too!
22. Cue theme music
This would have made for a great sitcom just like they did back in the 90’s. All it needs is music and a really good writer. We’d watch it!
23. Lucky photographer
Imagine being hired for a job that you’re so used to doing, only to be surprised with a moment like this. That just makes the pay even more worth it. Happy anniversary to this lovely couple!
24. Fathers are real treasures
They just don’t get appreciated as much so posts like these truly jerk at the heart strings. The resemblance is a given but it’s the love quietly spoken here that matters.
25. And the music still plays
Once you find your partner, the music sounds much sweeter, especially when you both can play really well together. It’s the harmony, the rhythm, and the balance. So listen well.
