Aubri, I'm afraid you are operating under a misconception about photo identification that it is a simple matter of people identifying the names and the village from just looking at this picture. It is possible to identify people in photos in many instances but photo identification requires much more work. Please see my article, "Photo Identification: The Process of Finding and Interpreting Clues in a Photograph" in the Fall, 2010 issue of Avotaynu,Vol.XXVI, number 3.

It is unlikely the photo can ever be identified. The only possible option know to me today is to search for similar images in images.google.com. If you are not familiar with it, open the site, click on the camera icon and take it from there. It is easy.

You can also crop the photo to create separate image files for each face and run them through Google.

I have also been told that myheritage.com uses a facial recognition software of some kind. If you keep your family tree on their web site, including photographs, it will notify you if the software identifies a similarly looking person in another family tree.

Good luck in your search.
