&quot;And as a photographer, the thought occurred to me to recreate (what was to me) a famous family picture.&quot; After doing some research and finding pictures of some of her female ancestors - dating back 200 years - McConnell recreated lots of &quot;famous family pictures&quot; with some striking results... <h3>Christine born 1981 </h3> <h3>Mother Kathryn born 1957 </h3> <h3>Grandmother Mildred born 1928 </h3> <h3>Great-grandmother Attie Mae born 1898 </h3> <h3>Great-great-grandmother Jane born 1858 </h3> <h3>Great-great-great-grandmother Martha born 1821 </h3> Speaking i100.co.uk McConnell says her biggest takeaway from the project is how she can see different features of her own face in each of the women.
