Posted on: General China Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/China/General/270 Surname: Hom ------------------------- My first known ancestor as of this date is Hom Fung Dick. He lived in the Sung Dynasty (960-1279 A.D.) Hom Fung Dick came from the Hunan Province in central China. He settled in Canton, China.His profession was that of an herbalist, this occupation would be passed down through thirty-one generations. My family ancestors would continue to reside in the Hoi Ping district of Canton for thirty generations. Tom Gar Yem was my greatgreat grandgrandfather. He was the first ancestor to leave China. He sailed to San Francisco in 1870 he was 28 yrs old. My great grandfather's name was Tam Mee. My grandfather's name was Hom Shack Ngow. He married Wong Nge Jan in China. This is a brief history from the records I have. I would like to know more about Hom or if there is any other relatives that we dont have records about. I pretty much have history about the 33 generations of Hom. It is all in Chinese and I have not had it translated. (Yet!!) I also have some brief history about my grandmother Wong Nge Jan but it is in Chinese also. If you have info about either or please email me. If you think I may have info for you please email me also. MoonDreamer23349@hotmail.com Thank You for your time.
