Hi, I am from Malaysia and I am really interested to search for my ancestors. I found out this forum through some search on the google website. I don't really know how to search for my ancestors or where to start searching. Hope that some of you could help me out. My greatgrandparents came to Malaysia during the world China. I am not sure which part of China they are from but my friend said that my ancestors should be from there since my accents sounds like that. My greatgrandfather name is Lee, Yee Hon and my greatgrandmother is Kam, Yok Fong. Let me know if you know anything about the LEE... thank you very much

Hi, Welcome to the world of Chinese genealogy! My initial suggestion is that you try to find the Chinese characters for your great grandfather [ digital photo of the gravestone ] usually has this information and also the name of the ancestral village. Please read of some background material from my " Tom Genealogy "website: mysite.verizon.net/vzepzaui/index.htmlMy replies may be sparce for the next 3 weeks as I will be trekking through Guangdong province for the 3 weeks in search of my genealogical heritage. Henry
