Surnames: Danswan, Choonan, Swan, Lea, Sun, Pot
I am looking for family links to China. My g,g,g,grandfather left Amoy in 1852 for Australia on the Eleanor Lancaster. He was endentured to the Australian Agricultural Society for 5 years. He is listed on shipping documents as Dan Choonan and Dan Swan, but was known in Australia as Thomas Danswan. His mothers name on his marriage certificate was Sun Lea and his fathers only as Pot. He eventually married an Irish girl, settled in Murrurundi and had a large family.
