Since my grandfather passed away last October, I've had an itch to know who I am.
My dad's side of the family is from Fuzhou, Fujian, and my grandfather was a shoemaker name
Lien Ko Feng (spelling?) that imigrated to Taiwan, where I believe he had a restaurant, then a shoe store, and passed away last year at around 80. I am not sure as to where he met my grandmother(mainland or taiwan), but she was a
Chen, but had been adopted. She is currently about 71. I remember hearing when I was younger that the
Lien Clan of Fuzhou was somehow associate with the Oyan(oyang?) Clan.
My mother's side of the family is from Taiwan, my maternal grandfather's last name was
Chan(
Zhan) and my grandmother's maiden name was
Chung(Zhong,
Jung) and either or both was Hakka. my grandfather passed away in 1988 and my grandmother was a teacher in thailand and japan until she retired back to Taiwan. she is around 77?
Any kind of information would be helpful!! thank you!
