Does FamilySearch offer an option to upload images of people, who I cannot identify?

I have a photo in my granmother's collection that I do not who it is?

Thanks,

Joan

    Ok - thanks.

    I have asked other family members, with no luck.

    I will just set this photo aside.

    Yes, you can upload a picture of persons that you don't know. But please make sure that the person is not living. If the person is living, this could violate privacy terms. You will need to put a topic tag on it such as "grandmother's friend". The best thing that could happen, someone else sees the photo and knows the person!

    Thanks. I still am not clear. Are you saying I would place in my Memories? How would others know where to look? There is not a central location for users to to place unidentifed people?

    I do not know where to look for others on the site, who may have pictures of people they do not know.

    I am sorry if I was unclear. You could place the photo in memories. You could tag it as an example - friends of my grandmother (her name). Then if any one looking at your grandmother's name in memories would look, they might recognize the people. Have you tried getting any help from other relatives to see who is in the photo? Once uploaded, you can copy the web address and then send to your relatives to see if they know who is in the picture. Hope I have been clearer.

    There is no place on the site where people go to see unidentified memories.

    Is there by any chance another photo, of several people, that has this persons image. If so, you can upload and tag it to your grandmother, or others you know, and leave a comment about the unknown individual, and ask for help naming that person.

    Unfortunately, there is not another photo. I don't have many of my grandparents siblings or friends. None for my grandmother.
