This is another picture from my family archive. The man might be my great grandfather but I am not sure. Does anybody think the picture is Hong Kong? If not it is definitely not him. No idea of date or anything like that. Assume early 1900s.

Thanks,

Sean

Date picture taken (may be approximate): 
Saturday, January 1, 1910
Gallery: 
1910s Hong Kong

Well the structure behind looks like an obelisk. Cemetery perhaps?

But not any we have seen so far: http://gwulo.com/node/3886

I am really chancing my arm with this one. It only MIGHT be my great grandfather because the other two pictures I have of him have him wearing a full beard. However, I know styles change and he might have just left himself with a mustache as I think he was a bit of a dandy. Keen on the horses etc..

Moddsey, there are several Olson graves in HK but none like this so I suspect this is not the old boy. Only if the background was to be identified as HK could I even think of calling him John1

Thanks again.
