Hi! Need help here, since our family name already evolved through time we now use ‘Yapchiongco’ as our family name.
Based on what I’ve heard from my late grand father our ancestors came from Amoy, China. I believe our family name is Yap, the Chiong is the first name of my great grand father, while Co is just a word utter as a sign of respect. When they migrated here in the Philippines my grand father together with his siblings already used the family name Yap Chiongco.
I am also tracing my ancestors from Amoy, China and possible relatives from Amoy and here in the Philippines.
I need help for possible Chinese characters for the name "Yap Chiong Co". Thank you.

Hi, I think we are likely related, my maiden last name is Yap-Chiongco and my grandfather was from Cabanatuan. I'm related in some way to every other Yap-Chiongco or Yapchiongco that I've met and I am curious to know if you found this information or if you have more info on the family history of migration from China to the Philippines in terms of when this occurred etc. We have heard multiple stories about how the name came to be, including the smushing together of the first and last name that you've referred to here, but have also heard that someone immigrated from the Philippines to China and then returned to the Philippines.

Hi ahord, We’re related, our family is from Aliaga, Nueva Ecija.. near Cabanatuan.. some of my uncles’ last name were registered as Yap-Chiongco. I’m here because I just want to trace our village and family in Amoy (Xiamen), China. But Xiamen is a big city.
