Hi, it's not that easy as Canton is a city. In those days they lived in villages. Is there a heradstine that your friend has? That will show the village that thaey came from. Is it a male or a female you are searching? females are the worst, as they marry out of their village to the male village, and there are usually no records of females, about from their "Shee" name - ie maiden name.
