pennylrichardsca points us to the comments on the photo above where several relatives have commented!

 

We previously highlighted a discussion thread where Lú_ asked if anyone had found family or personal connections in photos from the Commons on Flickr after finding one of her husband’s relatives. Well members continue to find long lost relatives and above are just a few more examples! Check out the full discussion thread here and make sure you wander through The Commons yourself to see if you find any familiar faces.
