My Aunt downloaded a portrait image from FamilySearch but didn't save any identification information

It can be tricky
I tried a few standard methods - and didnt come up with anything
tahts why it is so important to name files when you download them in such a way that the person can be identified.

I am not sure how well this would work, but there is a FamilySearch activity called Compare-a-Face where you take or upload a picture and it compares that face to any other portraits in FamilySearch. Hopefully it helps you to find out who it is in this picture!

That's a really good idea, Camilla. @ShellyR Leavitt1, if your aunt goes to https://www.familysearch.org/discovery/compare and clicks on "Get Started," selects this image from her downloads, clicks Enter, and lets the program analyze her image, it just might come up with an exact match--that of the ancestor whose image this really is.

This worked for us. My wife had a photo of a young woman who had not been identified. We put it in Compare a Face, and it matched her at 90+% with her great great Grandmother, whose photo we had when she was in her 70's. Hopefully it will work for you. And don't forget to try Google Images, there is a possibility that someone has posted there.

@ShellyR Leavitt1, have you had a chance to try the suggestions yet? We'd love to hear whether it worked for you!

I tried a reverse google image search, but it was unsuccessful. You can upload images to images.google.com and often google can find the same image elsewhere. I have done this with pieces of buildings, machinery, people, etc. and often I can find the source of the image. Unfortunately, I could not this time.
