Hi all
Just starting to learn of my family roots and genealogy.
My G.G. Grandfather's name is Lim Chin Tsong and was a rice merchant in late 1890's in Rangoon. I believe the

After the two World Wars, the business fell apart and the siblings were separated. Some went to Penang, Malaysia and others stayed behind in Rangoon.
I found out that they were also related to the last Ming emperor of China - second cousin. Not sure of how the roots are connected but.....
