Identifying mystery relatives #general

What is the best way (if there is one) do disseminate photos of anonymous people in the hope that someone will recognize a face or a place or even have another copy of the same image, with captions?

 

Posting in ViewMate is one way, but I suspect not many researchers visit it regularly.

 

Posting in Facebook Jewish Genealogy group reaches people only for a day or two.

 

Reversed image search on google, yandex, and tineye is possible, but most likely will be a waste of time as they don’t seem to index large photo collections.

 

Ideas are welcome.

 

There is an “anonymous” page on my web site, if anybody is interested, at http://www.bfcollection.net/subjects/anon2/anon_02.html

 

It is a mixture of my family photos and strangers from my collection. As I am organizing family albums in this forced downtime, more faces appear and more answers are needed.

 

Thank you all!   Boris Feldblyum
