Family Old Photos is a viewer submitted site with lots of old photogaphs that users submit with information about each photo. There is a section on this site that has unidentified photo’s but also many user submitted photos complete with name and a brief history. Some of the unidentified photo's are bought in flea markets or antique stores and others are from that huge box of pictures many of us has with no identification attached. These photo's are scanned in with the hopes of being found by the right ancestors. I spent several hours on this site going through pictures hoping to find a long lost relative. I never did find any ancestors but it was quite interesting and fun to look over all these old pictures. We never know when or where we’ll find tidbits of ancestors, most of the time it in unexpected places. Check this website out, you might get lucky! http://www3.familyoldphotos.com/
