It will be a time consuming and confusing task to get all the backups in order to be restored so as to not break the log chain.
The following script will help you in getting the list of all backups since the last full backup for all the databases in your instance.
It assumes there was atleast one full backup in the last 30 days...if not, you have a bigger problem.

Description: This procedure will return the list of backup files in
order from the last fullbackup for the DBs for all the databases.
Assumption: This procedure
assumes that there was atleast one full backup in the last 30 days. If not :-)
you have a bigger problem.
