I look nothing like my great grandfather. But the members of my paternal family take after their grandfathers. I don't look like my dad, I look exactly like his dad. He doesn't look like his dad at all, he looks like a carbon copy of his grandfather. This peculiarity goes back to the first ancestor we even have pictures of. I look like my great great grandfather, he doesn't look anything like his father (great great great grandfather, confederate vet) but his son does. And so does my dad. The men in my family always take after their grandfathers and the women tend to take after their mothers.

And the split is among more nordic family members and more mediterannean looking ones. My great x3 grandfather was mediterannid with dark hair and eyes, his son was nordic, his son was dark, his son was nordic, my dad is dark, I'm nordic. Uncharacteristically, the Mediterranean phenotype-Havers of my family tend to be a bit taller than the Nordic ones. My dad's slightly taller than me at 6'2, my great grandfather was 6'5, my grandfather is 5'8 (great grandmother was tiny), I'm 6'0. This trait is pretty recent though. My very nordic great x2 grandfather was an absolutely enormous human being especially for the time, his army records from ww1 say he was 6'6.
