Title: Wishaw Photos
Post by: wdbev777 on Tuesday 19 March 13 02:31 GMT (UK)

My grandfather (William Rutherford) left Wishaw, Scotland, in 1928 with my mother and her four brothers headed for West Virginia coal fields.  I inherited his sea trunk which had a group of photos from Wishaw.  We have no idea who these folks are.  Question: is there a place to post scans of these photos to help find who they are?  I suspect that most have passed away by now, but family might like to have.  I would be willing to mail photos too.

Hi William,
 
You are welcome to post the photos here and we can help you to date them, but it might be a long shot to identify who they are - they might be close family or they could be just friends or extended family. 
 
When posting photos for dating, please follow these guidelines: http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,517366.0.html (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,517366.0.html)
 
regards
