: I am researching my family history My Great Grandfather
: was Wong James Angee or Ah Gee.
: He came to Australia aboard the Menado in 1855 from HongKong.
: He was a coolie. On his marriage certificate he said his Father was Ah Chung
: & his mother Ah You. He said he was born in Macao.
: Sunhoi area. Can anyone help please. Any ideas welcomed.
=================================
Most likely that your GGrandfather's surname is
Wong, not Angee or Ah Gee. Gee is probably his
given name. Chinese people like to use "Ah" when
calling each other like I would call you "Ah Catharine".
