How do you find anyone or anything from a photo on the web?

March 7, 2007 2:28pm CST
We all have old photos of unknown people, relatives, heirlooms, possessions and events, where we need to know how they relate to us. A lot of the time the people who could tell us are missing, lost or passed away. Given the vast amount of information on the web, we can search for them textually, but how do you search within a photograph on the web?. Within the current membership in Mylot, there must be thousands of members who are in this position. The main Genealogy registers are extremely costly, but there is a new site launched....Whoareyou-Whereareyou.com where you can actually search on photographs, and the people or objects within them, FREE registration enables you to search and respond to any image on the site. Subscribe and you can create albums of images directly related to you personally, so anyone can post a response to the question your image is asking, missing or unknown, More than five hundred people are reported missing daily in the United Kindom alone. Who are you - Where are you, offers positive action for those missing a loved one, the ability to initiate a search for them. A photgraph is all that's needed to start your search. Please take a look and let me know what you think. Your feedback and comments would be most gratefully received. http://www.whoareyou-whereareyou.com Thank you for taking the time to read this. Chris

It looks like a very useful site Master, and I think many will find use for it here. I personally have no lost relatives (fortunately) but I will keep this site in mind and tell people who might need it. Thanks for sharing this site. :)

Oh don't worry about that Chris, it takes a while to get those responses. Build your friends network, that goes a long way in getting responses. As long as your discussions interest me, my response is guaranteed:) Happy mylotting! And thanks for the Best response btw, I know you had no choice~ ;o)
