Wan Co Family in Amoy china

[drcecille]

I am a descendant of great-grandfather Wan Co from Amoy China

He was baptised Juan Lim in Batangas City Philippines
He arrived in Batangas around 1910-1920 and married my grandmother Marcela Molina

They have one son (grandfather Engr Bartolome Lim of Department of Public Works and Highways)
and 3 daughters.

Engr Bartolome Lim, his only son,  passed away in 1971
leaving behind a wife Dr Maria B Lim
and children: Dr Cely Cayetano, Dr Vedasto and Dr Eleazar

I am his great-granddaughter Dr Maria Cecille Lim Cayetano-Angelia
please send email [e-mail] for any information about our great grandfather Wan Co

Being a good businessman,
he became a leader of the market businessmen in Batangas
and contributed to the church

His remains is in the baptistry of the Minor Basilica of the Immaculate Concepcion in Batangas City

Thank you. God bless.

Hi drcecille,

You will probably hear many others echo this advice, but that's because it's an excellent starting point for everyone.

Your great-grandfather Wan Co's remains, have you visited there? If so, is there any marker, with Chinese characters? Often, characters are the best place to start. From Wan Co, I cannot determine what is the first and last name, for example.

So in short, take a look at anything your family has (the gravestone or plaque, papers, letters, etc) if you have any and let us know. Good luck! Hope it helps.

Dear Matthew 

Greetings of peace to you.

Thank you for this advise.  I will visit his resting place inside the church this weekend.

God bless,
Cecille
