\nTina LaFreniere is a Naples resident and a member of Genealogical Society of Collier County and National Genealogical Societ y. She has been working on her own genealogical search for over 15 years. Tina&rsquo\;s family has come to rely on her to keep most of the family re cords and as people in her family passed\, she has been the inheritor of t housands of family photos. Most are from the 1940&rsquo\;s through 1990&rs quo\;s\, but some date back to the late 1800&rsquo\;s\, and of course most were not labeled with names. As the wife of a technology executive and mo ther to children in technology\, she thought there had to be a way to util ize technology to help identify the people in her photos. When she couldn& rsquo\;t find a website suited to this purpose\, she used her business bac kground and knowledge of genealogy to build Related Faces which uses state -of-the-art technology to help genealogist figure out who are the faces in their photos.
