Posted on: General China Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/China/General?read=225 Surname: ------------------------- Based on the name order of your gf's and ggf's names, Lee would be the surname and the others are personal names. Similarly Wong would be your ggm's surname. I believe in Hawai'i they normally kept the order of Chinese names where the first nmae is the surname.
