Posted on: General China Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/China/General/291 Surname: ------------------------- Believe your gf's name was Ko A Fath based on your transliteration. Could have been written Ko Ah Fat or something similar. That means his surname was Ko and his given name was Fat(Fath)while the "A" (Ah) is just a common attachment. As to which surname Ko, it is hard to tell unless you know the Chinese character. Fath (Fat) generally means prosperous. What is the "Koa Zave"?
