help in IDing a pix

Question

I was looking in my basement tonight for a big wall-picture of my great-grandmother.  I also found a picture of another relative who I can't identify.  I *DO* know that it is one of my relatives, but I don't know who or even what line.  I have no cousins or aunts alive who can tell me.   I have posted it, along with the names of the families I am related to, on the appropriate county genealogy page.  Do you have any other suggestions as to how I can get some help in ID-ing this lady??

Hi Lynn,

I'd edit your question and add the picture. Do you have a Free Space page for your family to track brick walls, mysteries, to-do's, etc.? You could post it there if you don't already have it one WT. Then, I'd make posts to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, etc. with links back to the WikiTree Free Space Page. When you make those posts on social media, be sure to use tags like ancestry, genealogy, virginia, old photos, etc.

I just recently started a Free Space Page for my family, as an example:

Let me now if you need more help!

Thank you so much for your suggestions.  No, I don't have a "free space" page for random pictures.  The only "free space" pages I am familiar with are the ones WT creates every week for the 52 photos challenge.  I would have posted this picture with my question, but since I don't know who it is,  I wasn't sure how to do that.  If you will tell me how/where to create a family "free space page", I'll definitely do that.  And I'll post to the other places you suggested. Thanks so much!

After digging around in the WT index, I FINALLY found the directions to set up a free space for my random photos.  So I did.  Thank you for letting me know that was possible.  I will redo my question with the picture!!

sorry I didn't get back to you, had a migraine come on.

Lynn, you've got the tags combined so that it is one tag instead of four separate tags. the page only allows for three.

Ugh!  Migraines are miserable.  I used to get them, but not now.

Sorry, my comment "FINALLY" was not directed at you.  It was meant regarding the Wikitree instructions/help center.  I went and looked in the "help" section right after you made the suggestion, and I did find it, but it took a long time.  I did find it, and got it done successfully.

I think I got the tags right when I posted the picture in the new post.
