This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/iRC.2ACE/358 Message Board Post: There was an error in my query of the above subject which I posted on 24/8/2001, and which I would like to amend. My grandfather, SUNG YAM, didn't come from Quemoy (please delete), but came from TONG AUN, as inscribed on his tombstone. I understand Tong Aun is a village in the Province of FUJIAN. His father, my great-grandfather, owned some salt yards/flats in Tong Aun, and my grandfather, being an only son, was given given the name YAM, which means SALT in Hokkien, at birth. Again I would like to ask if there is anyone who has any information of the above, please contact me. I would appreciate that very much.
