There are lots of good tips and things for me to think about. I'm going to write another blog post this weekend with more findings and possibly more questions.

No guarantee of course, but a bit more of a mathmatical approach.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044799906733098528.post-73566755177089945212010-03-14T19:14:40.562-04:002010-03-14T19:14:40.562-04:00Wow that is a tough one.

The hairline is very similar. <br /><br />It definitely COULD be. The ears are throwing me though.<br /><br />The man on the right is handsomer anyway :)antje wilschhttp://www.storyofmylife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044799906733098528.post-82287797013300324172010-03-14T16:47:13.323-04:002010-03-14T16:47:13.323-04:00Man oh man, I can so relate to the first part of t...Man oh man, I can so relate to the first part of this post. My father died in 1988 - I was only 21. It breaks my heart when I can't remember his face. I feel so bad when I have to go look at a picture of him because I can't remember what he looks like sometimes.Sheri Fenleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01720122119370691488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044799906733098528.post-44438988821892129192010-03-14T16:43:37.255-04:002010-03-14T16:43:37.255-04:00I don't think they are the same man at all, Lo...I don't think they are the same man at all, Lorine. This pair of eyes, fresh to the study, don't see much similarity at all. I even think the structure of the ears is different. Since Maureen Taylor is a photo expert, ask her opinion too. I see a difference in complexion too. Just don't think it's the same man. Sorry.Becky Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11841947942442007031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044799906733098528.post-24844157074274643742010-03-14T14:54:17.237-04:002010-03-14T14:54:17.237-04:00A few things stand out in the photos.

They appear close in age, with the man on the right being a bit older and with a moustache. Because I see no outstanding dissimilarities I would judge that they are the same person.<br /><br />In your mind, take away the moustache and imagine the man on the right with his head cocked a bit to the left, eyes squinted and his mouth slightly open. What do you think?<br /><br />JackJack Coffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649768599179736262noreply@blogger.com
