Any Moy Family Members in the US?

[cherrybomb]

This may be a long shot, but hopefully someone with a Chinese ancestor will stumble across this board and can shed some light.

I am trying to find anyone related to my great-great grandfather. I am trying to locate anyone with the Moy last name who had a relative that immigrated to the United States to teach in the early 1910-1930s. He either immigrated to California or New York.

The reason my great grandfather ended up in the US in the first place is that at the age of 32, married with kids he left the rural village in Taishan, China and moved to Japan to study. He graduated from university in Japan, married a Shanghai woman and forced to leave China for the U S leaving behind another wife in Taishan (my side of the family).

My great-great grandfather was a "rebel" and had (possible) connections to Dr. Sun Yet-Sen. There is reported there is a photo of him shaking hands with Dr. Sun Yet-Sen but now the photo is lost.

One of the problems with locating Moy is one of lesser common Chinese last names and many Irish people have the same last name (from different origins). Hopefully someone can shed some light on this.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi: There were many members of the Moy clan in Chicago. See Emma Woo Louie's excellent book on Chinese American names:

books.google.com/books?id=IGAClRACrsYC&pg=PA150&dq=chicago+moy+clan&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjUr4nhxqfTAhUps1QKHV3gDok4ChDoAQhOMAk#v=onepage&q=chicago%20moy%20clan&f=false

If you Google "Chicago Moy clan." many other sources will appear.

I don't know if this will be checked by the original poster.
I am a descendant of a Moy born in Chicago to parents who travelled from China. Henry Gee Pong Moy was born in 1892 and died in Alaska in 1952. He had 10 children, the last of which was my paternal grandmother, Joan Moy Derenoff.
I am interested to know if my great-grandfather has any siblings or descendants of siblings alive. I recall an aunt Nina from my childhood.
