Letter from the donor, Marion E. Steel:
"When looking into my mothers ancestors I found a family photograph of the Rodgers Family from Arbroath in Scotland taken over 100 years ago.
It showed my great great grandparents Alexander and Joan Rodgers and their large family, including their son Barnet Rodgers and his wife back on a visit to the family home from the USA. My mother, now in her mid eighties, has put names to the people in the picture (she's one of the oldest living members of the family i know of).
I believe the Rogers family who were involved in the Eagle Tribune are direct descendants of Barnet."

Starting from the top left (back row):
Barnet Rodgers himself. Next to him is the one person my mother could not positively identify, but she thinks it may be Barnet's wife.
Next to her is Isobel Rodger (sister of Barnet)
Next is Alexander Rodger (brother of Barnet)
Then it's Helen Rodger (sister of Barnet)
Then it's William Rodger (brother of Barnet)
Then it's Janet (Rodger) Laurie (sister of Barnet)
Next to her is her husband Jim Laurie
Next to him is Margaret Rodger (sister of Barnet)
Finally it's Alexander Beattie, my great grandfather.

Starting again from the left side of the next row:
Captain Bell and next to him his wife. They are the in-laws of Barnet's brother Alexander.
Next to them is Alexander's wife holding their son Herbert. Alex, his wife and son moved away to live in South Africa and my mother still writes to some of their family.
Next is William's wife holding their son William.
Next is Joan Watson Greig Rodger, mother to Barnet and my great great grandmother.
Next is Eliza (Rodger) Beattie, Barnet's sister and my great grandmother. She is holding Joan, the first of their 5 daughters and my great aunt.
Finally, at the end of the row, is Alexander Rodger, husband of Joan Watson Greig, father of Barnet and my great great grandfather.

The four children seated in the front are the children of Janet Rodger and Jim Laurie. One was named Meg (Margaret), another was Jo (Joan), both of whom I remember visiting in Arbroath as a child.

My maternal grandmother was Margaret Beattie, her sisters Mae (Mary Ann) and Bette moved to the States, married and died there without any children.
Jo, the oldest sister, never married and lived and died in Dundee.
Lizzie, their sister, married and had one son, John, deceased.
My grandmother had a son, Rodger, who died in his mid fifties leaving one daughter while Muriel, her daughter, my mother, had a family of three...I'm the eldest and I have a sister Joan and a brother Richard. My mother, sister and I plus husbands, all live in Tayport in the county of Fife across the River Tay from Dundee where we were all born.
