Patricia Louise Low said: Compare a Face-I tried this new program on Family Search. I enjoyed doing it very much. I saw that I resembled by mother 77% and it was fun. I also enjoyed seeing how much I resembled other relatives. Thank you for making this available to us.

Randy Hoffman said: Just to check my understanding, are you saying that you wish you could select two faces from your tree to see how similar they look to each other, or the ability to compare every face in your tree against each other, so you can see who looks the most like each other?

If I understand correctly, your first request can be done by uploading a photo of an ancestor, pretending they are you. The second request wouldn't be possible unless we rewrite the entire backend service.

One feature we are strongly considering is a group version, where everyone can see how much they look like a selected ancestor.

Not a fan of "Compare a Face." I've uploaded dozens of ancestor photographs with the WILDEST results.

Fine for the LDS to phish for photographs but using a fraudulent facial recognition tool to get it is messed up.

Love the idea, but make it work!

I enjoy this feature! It is fun to compare ourselves and our family members to people in our tree. There were some interesting surprises that we had not noticed before but can see now.
