Photo appears to be http://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Heritage/Photos/Disc5/IMG0077.asp, which has accompanying text that includes "any published reproduction (print or electronic) may infringe copyright law.". The non-commercial site Wikipedia merely links to it. A commercial site such as Geni.com must surely have obtained permission. Such permission should be specified on this page. Does it have permission?

i placed the photo, im not sure if thats where it came from as i have an identical photo in a 30 year old book on my bookshelf. however as i am an individual non profit and not geni.com i claim fair use.

That could be fair enough. The library may well have been given only one of many copies of the photo. Maybe I will approach the library to see whether I can reproduce the photo on Familypedia, which is a little less commercial than Geni. Kia ora!
