Member Since: January 2003 Posts: 5 Send Message	Is anyone else researching the above family tree? I have a photo of a Thompson/Tadgell family gathering from the mid 1940's/early 1950s and would welcome some help identifying mystery faces. Many thanks Glenda

	The best way to find relatives via this site is to Search All Members trees, top right under Search. Send a message to any member who may the same names as yourself. Maddie has posted some potential names above - you may be aware of more.

	Have you done anything yourself to try to sort out names? Looking at freebmd would the obvious place to start - followed by the 1939 register

Member Since: January 2003 Posts: 5 Send Message	Thanks everyone - yes I have the tree complete, but have a photo of a big family gathering from the 1940/50’s but no members of my parents generation still alive to put faces to those names, so I was wondering if there were any other distant relatives searching the tree that might be able to recognise some Cheers Glenda

	Try the 'Search All Member's trees'. Sadly, very few of the currently active members ever look at the boards & are unlikely to spot your post.

Member Since: January 2003 Posts: 5 Send Message	Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated - I have searched all the trees and sent individual messages but, as you say, no response, so it looks like this happy bunch of smiling folk in the photo will remain unidentified :-(
