Great stuff Dennis,
There must be a lot of old school photos around like that where the owner knows many of the names of the people therein. I’d say a lot of people would have lost theirs. The ones I remember having were on very thin paper and tended to crumple very easily if they weren’t in an album. I only have about three or four now from about twelve years of schooling.
All the best,
Alan

Hi Alan,
Well I made the error of ALL errors. Contacted the New Zealand Airths of the tree; sent them a copy of my tree. When it came time for them to reciprocate they were not interested in sharing; their grandfather was my grandmother's brother at that. Ah well.
On a good note have been communicating frequently with the Lennox kin that moved from Morroco to South Africa post WW2

Hello Dennis,
That’s a bit of bad luck, but at least the success you’ve had in other areas offsets it somewhat. Perhaps they’ll change their mind later.
But you can still keep researching that side even though they are not interested. There’s sure to be more New Zealand stuff coming online that will eventually include them.
All the best,
Alan
