This isn't accurate...
- I did not upload this photo.
- The person identified as possibly someone I know is completely unknown to me.
- One of the two reference photos the link takes me to is a high school class reunion from a number of years ago. The person in this reference photo was not a member of that class and doesn't even resemble someone in the class.
- From the email I received, there is no way to respond to the message and let FamilySearch know the match is bogus. The message was sent Jan 28th at 6:30pm to (email removed). That's a valid email address, but it's the only thing in the message that actually applies to me.

These emails from FamilySearch are effectively marketing which are notorious for being devoid of useful data. Is that image even supposed to be the photo in question? Or is it just marketing?
Basically I'd just ignore it - it's like the messages I get to say "We may have found a record for your ancestor", to which my mental response is, yes, I know he's my granddad, I put him there, just like I attached the record you're telling me about...

Marketing?? Someone in FamilySearch needs to take a look at that effort. If you are going to market something, IT NEEDS TO REFLECT REALITY or it's not much of a sales ploy.

I agree, this is strange. Let me do some investigating as to why this happened/how we might correct this.
In the meantime, if these emails are a bother, you can always change your Notification settings.
