Posted on: General China Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/China/General?read=167 Surname: FOL, HOM, SHEE ------------------------- Looking for information regarding the ancestors of HOM Ting born 1904 in Changsha, Hunan Province, China. (Ting was the son of FOL Ack, who was the third son in a family of six. Ack had one other child.) In 1922, Ting married SHEE Gin. Their first child, Sam, was born in Kaiping in 1924. The family moved to Ohio in the United States, in 1925, where they had seven more children. In 1933, FOL Ack, HOM Ting, (who later changed his name to YEE Ting), and Ting's family returned to China. Another child was born in Changsha at this time. From 1935-38, the family, except for three of the children, moved back to the States. The three children were reunited in Ohio with the family in 1946. FOL Ack returned to China for the last time at the age of 62. He drowned while on his way to Canton where he was seeking medical attention. I would like to correspond with anyone interested in exchanging information regarding any of these family lines.

Posted on: General China Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/China/General?read=165 Surname: Louis Kiel Lewis, Kiel Lewis ------------------------- In my previous message I was not sure where my Great Grandfather "Louis Kiel Lewis" was born, I have since found out that he was born in Australia, at Swansea Newcastle around 1878. It was in infact my Great Great Grandfather "Kiel Lewis" who was born in China! Also "Louis Kiel Lewis" was married to "Alberta Ross Hovell", they married in 1914. "Alberta" is either the daughter or granddaughter of the Australian explorer "Captain William Hilton Hovell". "Louis" was married previously and was widowed, My family seem to think that his previous wife may have been Chinese? "Louis" also travelled extensively to and from China, as he owned a few Rice Plantations/fields. I also know that he was in the Chinese Army, as my Grandmother remember's seeing Photographs of her father in his uniform! Any information about "Louis Kiel Lewis" or his father "Kiel Lewis" would be greatly appreciated. Thank-you for your patience.
My great-grandfather, Yee Jock-Leong, died in Dayton, Ohio, on 5 Dec 1938. This death notice apparently appeared in the Dayton newspaper, but I don't know when. Please pay attention to his Chinese name and his American name. If you're stuck looking for ancestors, think of how some overworked or apathetic immigration officer might have butchered the name. Also, my grandmothers name is spelled Yut Seul, not Yut Ceul as is given in the notice. (Before anyone quibbles, my great-grandfather and grandmother were born in the U.S., so the romanized versions of the Chinese names are probably primary, and any representation of the name in Cantonese characters would probably been an act of nostalgia more than anything else.) By the way, I feel so stereotypically challenged. My great-grandfather WAS a Chinese laundryman! (Of course, the chemicals are probably killed him at a fairly young age of 52.) Later, Dave Dayton Chinese Laundryman Dies Yee Jackson Operated Shop Here for 20 Years Yee Jackson, who for 20 years ran a Chinese laundry at 318 West Third Street, died early Friday morning in St. Elizabeth hospital. Born in San Francisco 52 years ago of Chinese parents, he came to Dayton 20 years ago and entered the laundry business. He lived with his family at 510 Jackson Street, and was a member of Sacred Heart church. He is survived by his wife Mrs. Myrtle Jackson, and a daughter, Yut Ceul Jackson. The body was removed to the Grant Riesinger funeral home, 1856 West Third street. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David M.

Posted on: General China Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/China/General?read=164 Surname: Kiel Lewis, Louis Kiel Lewis ------------------------- I am tracing my family tree. My great grandfather's name was Louis Kiel Lewis, father's name is Kiel, mother's name is Elizabeth. Not sure if either Kiel or Louis moved to Australia first? I do know that louis was in the Chinese Army and moved back and forth between China and Australia! Louis married an Austalian girl by the name of Roberta(?) or Albertha(?) Hovell. They had 3 girls;Enid,Madge&Eunice. The Lewis Family may have changed their name from LEW to Lewis????

My husbands parents were born in China and came by boat to Malaysia before WWII. Louis Chui Hua Wong married Paulina Poh Ting. We don't know where in China they were from. They lived in Sibu, Sarawak. Any clues on how to proceed to find information? Ruth Wong whllp@kih.net
My grandfather CHUNG Yee En was born in 1859 and died in 1906. He died in Honolulu and is buried with his wife HO Fook Yin (Mary). He was born in China, but dunno where in China. Wife (Mary) was born in Kau, Big Island of Hawaii in July 1, 1872 and died March 25, 1938 in Honolulu. I'm trying to find out his exact birth/death dates, where in China, his parents' names, etc. I've tried looking at Soundex card on microfilm (C520) but no such luck. Used the Hawaii and Pacific unit in the Hawaii State Library but nothing so far. Can anyone help? Thank you, Tien Fook Chung chungt002@hawaii.rr.com

Lester, It is obvious you have been doing this for a while. Maybe you direct me. I am searching for my husbands ancestors. They are Hakka, came from Pukak Village, Bao On District of Guangdong, China. The first to leave came to Hawaii about 1870. He was a merchant who made many trips back home. He had a thriving business in Maui. His name, known to us, was Fung, Bow Kee. His wife, only known as Ah Sam Moi, aka Heu Shee Fung, came from Wah Tong Village, Bao On District of Guangdong, China. According to a death certificate she was born February 27, 1869. I do not know where to start. Any ideas are highly appreciated.

Dear Penny, One of the best sites on Chinese genealogy is presented by the Chou Clansmen Association of America. While their genealogy is solely of their own clan and family surname, it gives scholarly and religious insights into the origin and history of China. This family genealogy should be looked into by scholars of Chinese history. According to the Chou clan records, the Chou clan descends from an Arab or Hebrew tribe of people, who are ther forerunners of the Jews, but from a different branch of Eber. In early China, it was the Chou tribe, Shang people, and Ji people that brought about most of the civilized developments and shaped the nation under Emperor Huang Di. The Chou tribe threads its succession throughout all of China's Imperial lineage and history and is, today, China's Imperial family. So, this simple genealogy is quite important in the understanding of not only China's early culture, but of understanding China itself. The major descendants of the last ruling dynasty resides in Hawaii and California as part of the Chou Dynasty, as does the Chun family of the Ming Dynasty, China's last indigenous Han-Chinese ruling dynasty. The genealogy site of the Chou lineage is a private family genealogy and generally unadvertised site for members of the Chou clan. I am making this information available to you and to members of RootsWeb, because I feel that RootsWeb is a very worthy endeavor. You have my permission, as president of the Chou Clansmen, to put a link to our homepage from your site above. I hope that all members of RootsWeb will visit the Chou clan's site for knowledge as to China's early history beginnings. Later, the Chou clan was adopted on to the 100 surname family tree of China's Emperor Huang Di. Our genealogy site is at: http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Courtyard/1535/cha_pu.html This is the genealogy of China's current Imperial family. Yours, Lester D. K. Chow, president The Chou Clansmen Association of America lchow@lava.net

I have looked into these reports and it does NOT appear that the viruses have actually been sent through our lists. I've included a semi-technical explanation of what I have been able to find out, for those of you who are curious. The only important message here is that RootsWeb's lists are NOT the source of recent virus reports. What seems to be happening is that the current flock of viruses do the following things when they infect a new computer: * The virus sends a copy of itself to everyone in the computer's address book; * It forges its own return address to look like it was sent by someone *else* in the address book; * and it uses the Subject line from a message that was recently sent from that machine. So if an infected person sent mail to BUMBLEROTTER-L@rootsweb.com, the virus might send out mail like this to someone else in the victim's address book: From: BUMBLEROTTER-L@rootsweb.com To: joe@example.com Subject: [BUMBLEROTTER] looking for Fred and Wilma Bumblerotter <http://stuart.messagemates.com/index.html>http://stuart.messagemates.com/in dex.html Hypercool Happy New Year 2000 funny programs and animations...
