Question

Is there a way to see if your related to someone by physical apperance?

Answer 1

Sure, there's a reason people say one has their father's nose or mother's chin, though of course non of these are absolutely certain.  Some friends of mine I could have sworn were sisters and weren't, but in other cases I had no clue certain people were related.

Answer 2

No, not by looking at someone. But there is this website, www.myheritage.com that is kinda fun. Can help you maybe.

Answer 3

birthmarks or by looks?

Answer 4

Only if the person is your identical twin.

Answer 5

jimmi, well, you could look at old pics of your great grandparents or something. Do you mean someone not related to you genetically?

Answer 6

First thing you could do is ask

find out linages

This happened alot with my family

But also certain heritages have similar looks

I myself have an Irish descent, and I could go to Ireland and whole lot of people over there look like my brothers and sisters.

asking is the best way.

If they'd go there---- DNA testing is a sure bet.Expensive but the truest way

Answer 7

Only sure way is DNA testing.
