June, there is a new site called xungen.com which is affiliated to chineseroots.com and they are creating a Chinese genealogy site linked with the records at the Shanghai Public Library. This may lead you to some info in the PRC.

My grandfather CHUNG Yee En was born in 1859 and died in 1906. He died in Honolulu and is buried with his wife HO Fook Yin (Mary). He was born in China, but dunno where in China. Wife (Mary) was born in Kau, Big Island of Hawaii in July 1, 1872 and died March 25, 1938 in Honolulu. I'm trying to find out his exact birth/death dates, where in China, his parents' names, etc. I've tried looking at Soundex card on microfilm (C520) but no such luck. Used the Hawaii and Pacific unit in the Hawaii State Library but nothing so far. Can anyone help? Thank you, Tien Fook Chung chungt002@hawaii.rr.com
