minkie Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 I have old photos of people which I would like to identify if possible. Any suggestions of how to show them to Shetlanders? Can they be put on Shetlink? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 You could create a (free) account on Photobucket.com, upload them there and then post the links on Shetlink? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minkie Posted November 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Here is the link to the album: http://s1095.photobucket.com/albums/i474/minkie9/?albumview=slideshow Most of the people are from the north isles or north mainland. They are familyphotographs, unfortunately none were named. I have many more and will add them later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girzie Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Wonderful collection but I don't recognize anybody, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdal Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 The photos are probably 100 + years old and a bit too far back for the present generations to recognise, unless the same people feature in old family photo albums.Very interesting nevertheless.

minkie Posted November 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Someone must have similar photos of these people, even a surname will be helpful. 'Young' Shetlink users can you ask older family members if they have any ideas? Thanks to all for your interest.

Roachmill Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 What a fantastic collection . You should try the museum / archives . Thanks for sharing .I'll second speaking to the museum. Steven Christie (a fine fellow) works wi identifying pics fae the photo archive and would be worth showing them to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 ^^ Good to know they have somebody working on the identification side of things, its a very useful collection, so far only let down by lack of identification, and wrong identification. I don't envy the guy his job though, he has a pile of work ahead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
