Default Re: Your background

I'm basically 100% Chinese, as far as I know... My paternal grandparents and my maternal grandfather all came from China to Malaysia prior to the war. My maternal grandad then met my grandmother who was born in Malaysia.

I wish I knew more about my background... so that when my grandkids ask me about these things I'd have wonderful stories to tell them, instead of the boring 3 lines as above It's really difficult for me to trace my family tree, since most genealogy service caters to searching Anglo surnames while I'm Asian. Plus, I can't read nor speak Mandarin, so that makes it even more difficult to conduct searches.
