Posted on: General China Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/China/General/299 Surname: Garcia, Huang, Demetria ------------------------- Enrique Demetria Garcia, born 1890 Iloilo Philippines. He said they would visit his grandparents in Amoy in the summer. The family name there was Huang. His mother's name was Marina Demetria. Was it customary for the Chinese to change their last names when they arrived in the Philippines? With such little information, any ideas how to research my Chinese roots? Thanks
