I continue to be fascinated by the connection of parents and children who pass on the visual aspects of family history in all the obvious ways. The most noticeable characteristic to me are these looks and often practices and attitudes that are passed from parent to offspring. So far, they are different combinations of the convenient or inconvenient availability of both parents and all or some of the offspring. They are not always a full representation of the families presented here.
