:My cousin, Julia Wong of San Jose, CA and I have been trying to locate our family from the toy san
area also.

Like you I speak no Chinese. Julia knows Cantonese. Most of our
families that came to America settled in California.
I believe they came in the 30's.

Our mothers are sisters. I only remember my mother's maiden name
as "Low Sook Git"

I don't know if this would help but both of our moms were mentally
unstable. Julia's mother is still alive but mine died 14 years ago
in San Francisco.

I need to find out from Julia our mothers' cousin's last name. I
think she is also from the toy shan area. When I get more
information I'll email you back if you'd like. Maybe
through all of us searching we can also come up with some answers.

Thanks, Kathy Pollick
