Thanks very much to everyone for their help. I am now fairly sure that my photo of a 999 sightseeing bus was from Washington DC around 1905. I now know a lot about the bus, probably more than I will ever know about the relative who might have been on board. I've narrowed down the possibilities for who might have taken the tour. (It's been pointed out that it might have been a souvenir of the tour company rather than a photo taken when my relative was on board.) My search for the sightseeing bus is recorded at: <http://www.thornburypump.co.uk/Ancestry/999_sightseeing_auto.html> The best candidates for my relative are as follows: 1. Joseph Rodliff born 1871 at St Columb in Cornwall, who was a miner and steel plant worker who worked extensively in the north-east US, became a US citizen, died at Tuscola in 1942 and was buried in Newton-Compau cemetery. He worked in the US apart from a short period between 1910 and 1920 when he returned to the UK and worked on his brother's farm. A grafter rather than a sightseer I would have thought. 2. Harry Rodliff born at St Columb in Cornwall in 1874 and died 1913 in Cornwall. He was a black sheep of the family, in and out of the US between 1900 and 1910, getting divorced from his first wife at some stage and marrying his second in Canada. He seems a better candidate for sightseeing and it's just possible that his second wife is also in the picture. 3. Clifford John Rodliff/Radcliff born at St Dennis in 1879 was in and out of the US between 1898 and 1910 working in Colorado steel plants. He married in West Virginia in 1916. He was drafted in 1918 but had disappeared by 1920. I have a passport photo of Joseph in 1920, a wedding photo for Harry in 1900 and tantalising fits with two of the passengers on the sightseeing bus, but too many beards and moustaches to be certain! Any observations or suggestions are welcomed but I've probably got as far as is possible so this is probably my last post on this subject.
