I could not gently convince a lady that the guy in the microfilm was hers because he did not spell the surname the same way ... yes, both the director and I tried to persuade her to consider, but she was adamant... Never-the-less, if this was a more serious question that I first thought, I believe I would study the neighborhood, look at the 'cluster' to see if I recognized anyone else.
