Sin on

I came across the place of Sin On, China in my research. I can't find anything about it. It's on a travel document under Place of Birth. Anyone got any idea where in China this is or used to be?

Hi Jen:

As long as this place is in Guangdong, my first guess is that it is a reference to Sun On 新安 , the old name for Bo On/Bao'an County 寶安縣. What is now Hong Kong used to be in this county, as well as the modern city of Shenzhen.

Thanks Greg, I think it makes sense. I'm just thinking if this person would be related if not from the same village. It's close enough tho
