Hello!
I’m pretty new to this wondrous forum. I’ve collected as much oral history that I have from living relatives to know that the first relatives coming from China on my mom’s side were from Taishan. They speak the Xinning dialect. However, no one really knows where the ancestral village is (it’s been 4 generations now)
Mom’s side is 李。 First to settle in Malaysia from China is Lee Hong Lam (李鳳林?) He married Ng Sooi (she may be his wife he met in Malaysia). He brought his family over to Malaysia (mother, brother + brother’s fam and sister. His dad may have already passed on before then).
His dad’s name is Lee Ah Hiong and mom’s name Yuen Ah Yeow. Not super sure if that’s their “real” name if you get what I mean.
Maternal grandmother’s side first person to come to Malaysia was Looi Fook Lean whose dad’s name is Looi Fook Meng.
I believe all from the Taishan area.
Any help is much appreciated! Thank you!!
