Finding lost relatives
I've been doing a lot of Genealogy work and finding more about the Coates Family Tree lately. My Dad's 90th birthday is this year and we went over a whole bunch of old family photos that had no labels and put names to everyone.
Here is a link to the Coates/Bertelsen/Jansen family photo album.
This photo is of Thomas Coates b. 1847 in England taken in Oakland in 1885.
The most exciting thing is that I've found two "lost" 2nd cousins recently. I just got in contact with Barbara Astle, who is William Henry Coates' granddaughter. She's got a treasure trove of Coates family historical documents, including the family bible.

Tom, how did you find all those old photos? How do I even start a search like that?
