cherylshaw, Someone else more familiar with romanization of Chinese names in Indonesia will have to help you with your family name. To help that person, I recommend you post an image the Chinese character. Romanization of Chinese words is so very hit and miss, and everything about Chinese genealogy/heritage studies depends on the surname first. Check this link on how to start your research for hints: How to Start Your Chinese Family Heritage ResearchclickDoug

Hi CherylShaw, Welcome to the Forum. Please take a look at the following link, specifically rank 21 for your surname. As Doug mentioned, please post the Chinese character for your surname so your surname can be confirmed: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_Chinese_surnamesHenry
