In Reply to: Hum Surname in Montreal, Canada posted by Darcy on April 14, 2003 at 22:00:45:
: I would like to know if anyone with the surname Hum living in Montreal, Canada can help me out.
: I found out a few years ago that my Grandfather was Chinese and went by the name of Joseph Hum. He met my Grandmother, a Mohawk from Kahnawake just outside Montreal.
: My Father was born in 1934 and lived with my Grandfather off and on for a few years. He then went to live with his Grandmother. I believe my Grandfather kept in touch with my Father, as he mentioned he was at my older brother's baptism(1961).
: As far as I know he passed away in the early 70s just before I was born (1974). He was a physician in China, but was unable to pratice in Canada. He was a bit of a gambler as well.
: Does this sound familiar to anyone? I know it is not a lot to go by, but that's all I have and I would like to know more.
: Please contact me with any inquries or answers.
: Thank you,
Darcy,
If you can get hold of your grandfather's Chinese name I'll pass it onto some of the Montreal Hum's. It would be best if you have the Chinese characters.
