Glass Blowing School

Where would I start on trying to find an alumni student from a school i used to go to?

I used to go to a very old school and on the 3rd floor in huge poster sized glass pages was pictures of students who attended from the like 1920's to the 1980's (with pages missing and stuff). Anyway i was looking through the pages one day my junior year and saw a person who looked exactly like me. I find this extremely mind blowing because I have very distinct facial features. Plus I saw freckles on him that I have in the same exact spot! I have a small scar on my forehead from when I had chickenpox as a kid and he has the same exact scar! His name is James Jenkins which is clearly a white name and my name is Armando Nava(5 generations ago my family came from royalty in Spain). Im 19 and my parents never really believed me about the picture but I would like to find this james jenkins person. The thing is there is no class moderater for his class. His graduation year was 1956. How the hell would i find my long lost (old) twin?????


If he graduated more than fifty years ago, he may not even be alive.
His is a very common name but it might have been Anglicized when his ancestors came to your country (assuming USA).
I'm in Sydney and perhaps you could adapt what I'd do to find Mr. Jenkins with whatever goes on in your town.
Firstly, there is a column in the newspaper for people searching for old friends etc.
Secondly, I'd try www.ancestry.com although that might be like a needle in a haystack because of his common name.
Thirdly, I'd ask the school directly and perhaps try to get in touch with other people from his graduation year.
It's a slim chance you'll find him but those similarities do sound amazing!
Good luck.
