<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 7104, member: 33&quot;]Pat, Thank you for the links.&nbsp; I do think in some of these links there is a strong resemblance to the imprint in my photo.&nbsp; The way that the downward stroke of the right leg of the R in &quot;Rockwood&quot; curves around in a circle is a very similar style.&nbsp; And also the font of the letters looks similar.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, if George G. Rockwood passed away in 1911, what about his son George H. Rockwood, who used &quot;Rockwood, Jr.&quot;?&nbsp; Well, it turns out that the son died two months before his father did.&nbsp; See Find A Grave:</p><p><br /></p><p>Father:</p><p><a href="http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&amp;GRid=121574703" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&amp;GRid=121574703" rel="nofollow">http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&amp;GRid=121574703</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Son:</p><p><a href="http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&amp;GRid=121576659" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&amp;GRid=121576659" rel="nofollow">http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&amp;GRid=121576659</a></p><p><br /></p><p>It turns out that George G. Rockwood had a brother Elihu who originally was in business with George.&nbsp; Some online sources say that Elihu opened his own photo studio later on, but I haven&#039;t confirmed that.&nbsp; Elihu died in 1908.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I&#039;m thinking that the distinctive features of the word Rockwood that look similar to George&#039;s might still indicate a family connection.&nbsp; But am just not sure yet.&nbsp; If all of these people passed away before 1920, who was selling the Rockwood studio on Amsterdam Avenue in 1922?&nbsp; The ad that is linked says, &quot;Declining years and health cause of selling.&quot;&nbsp; That seems to indicate the person had owned the studio for quite a while... that is not proven, but seems to be an indication.</p><p><br /></p><p>This doesn&#039;t really connect to my original query, but I&#039;m interested now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
