Researching Grand Father - Fong Sow

[Steve Fong]

I do not know where to looked next. My Grandfather Fong Sow or Sow Fong? I believe was born in Toi San, Kwong Tung, China about 1885. He came over to Liverpool, England, UK and opened several chinese laundries.
I am trying to map and locate the place of his birth and seek anyone's help on trying to research further.

kind regards,
Steve Fong

Steve,

Tell us more about what information you already have.

Otherwise, look at this Wiki: How to Start Your Chinese Family Heritage Research<=click.

Being such a multi-laundry businessman for that long, are there any correspondences with Chinese characters? ¿Did you check his gravestone for Chinese characters regarding your ancestral village? See this Wiki: USING CHINESE CHARACTERS in FAMILY HERITAGE STUDIES without CHINESE LANGUAGE SKILLS<=click.

Then please post your next set of more specific questions.

Sincerely,
Doug

Do you have any Chinese Characters showing his name?
