REply: Sorry, Chinese names are phonetical similar and one must see the actual Chinese characters to translate the meaning of the name. My recommendation is to have a family member translate the name or a translator look at the name. Often if your grandmother is buried with a chinese gravestone, her vitale information will be included. Otherwise, you need to talk to other family members.
Good Luck. Jean Chooey Low
