It is a picture of a great aunt, taken by another great aunt, given to me by my grandmother, the sister of both the great aunts. All of these people are now deceased.
If the not related person had contacted me through Ancestry I would have replied, I have edited and improved the photo and now plan to upload it to the person's profile on WT.
The response to my request for a possible though very unlikely other source was that there is no source other than the original individual who posted the photo.
In several G2G discussions it is suggested that contacting the person who was the original poster on Ancestry to ask for permission to download/copy/post the image was the recommended procedure.
My question: Is there an official policy.
Guidelines for photos state:
How do you know if you have permission to upload a photo?
Generally speaking, you have permission to upload a photo if:
1. you took the photo yourself.
2. the person who took the photo gave you permission to share it on WikiTree.
3. the image is in the public domain.
You generally do not have permission if you downloaded it from another website.
