Yes. The Thessalonian Christians were apparently very concerned about their Christian loved ones who had died. They expressed their concern to the apostle Paul. So, in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17, Paul deals with the "dead in Christ" and assures the Thessalonian Christians that there will indeed be a reunion. And yes, believers will recognize their loved ones in the eternal state.
We are told in 2 Samuel 12:23 that David knew he would be reunited with his deceased son in heaven. He had no doubt about recognizing him. As well when Moses and Elijah (who had long passed from earthly life) appeared to Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration (Mat 17:1-8), they were recognized by all who were present. Furthermore, in Jesus' story of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16:19-31, the rich man, Lazarus, and Abraham were all recognized by each other in the intermediate state.

After death, we no longer have a constricted self. We will see that we are all that have lived. But the you that you have created in this life will find another body and start another life.

If you believe in the concept that some go to hell, then you can expect some loved ones to go there, so i guess heaven wont be all that great, unless you think letting go of your loved ones is ok.

Yes, when you die, you will recognize people from when u were alive. In heaven, we will be given new bodies, holy bodies that won't break down.

Yes. I believe you will meet people from every life you have lived as long as they have not already reincarnated.
