Hi I have just received a bundle of old photos from my gran's house to build up my tree.

I do not know who half of them are and am sure they are not my family but could be friends of my gran's, a lot of the pictures include weddings, babies, personal portraits, men in army uniform etc.

I am sure they would be really treasured by the family's next of kin, family or friends.

Is there any website that I could display these pictures, as I would love to know who these people are, and I am sure the families would love to receive the pictures, as I know how frustrating it is to find pictures of my ancestors and I would love to reunite these with the rightful owner.
any help much appreciated

The Photobucket website is free to register and set up a photo album where you can add your pictures.

When you've completed you can then 'Share'

My ‘Unknown’ photo’s are on here too

Where were the photos taken? Would love to take a look if you put them on photobucket or somewhere. I will be adding mine to there soon as I have at least 20 lovely photos but don't know who they are! There should be a photosreunited website!!

You never know we might find some relatives.!

Hi Victoria I am assuming most of the pictures are from the manchester area as that is where my gran came from, but she also had links in Ireland, but I am going to spend time putting them on the website mentioned in this thread.
