關 崇 歡 was my great grand fathers name. If you look at the generation poem you can see that
崇 is in the poem. I have emailed the web master at the Kwan family site to see if we are part of the same family. Also the reason why my grandfather’s name is Jose is because he was born in the Philippines. My great grand father moved there because he wanted find a better life there.

In the Philippines he found a wife named Maria and had children. My grandmother does not know how many children they had because some stayed in the Philippines and the rest went to back to China.


When they went back to China my Great Grand Father married again to 胡寶珍 (buried in Vancouver). My grandmother says that my great grand father married another woman but we do not know the name.

After getting married my great grand father went back to the Philippines but he never returned to China. My grandmother said that he died there because he either committed suicide or was murdered. We have no idea where he is buried.

My grandmother says that my great grand father died very young saying that he died at age 45. My grandfather also passed away young at age 57.All of his brothers and sisters have all passed away except for a half sister in Vancouver but she was too young to know her father.

I just want to see if I can find out where my Great Grand Father is buried and want to continue my family history of the Kwan side.

On the grave stone on my grand father it says:
Reading from the left column (using Yale transliteration): Gwong Dung Saang, Hoi Pihng Yuhn
Middle column: Gwaan Houh Sih Ji Mouh
Left column: Yeuhng Louh Heung, Laahn Dai Chyun
