Hi Trevor, It's good to see "Chinese in Guyana: Their Roots" going strong as ever.
I sometimes reflect back on those days when we were in St. Saviour's church choir.
Take care now, all the best to you and your family.

Thank you for the most informative Chinese diaspora data and story available. I find that I can only trace back to my great grandparents. I wish I could find more information related to my family background.

My mother's best friend from 1935 was Jane King, Jane went on to become a principal at either the elementary school or high school near Currentyne Village? My mother doesn't know where exactly - Jane was of African American Decent and married -so my mother doesn't know her married name. If anyone has a history on Jane King from the 30's or 40's from 79 village - I would love to see if she's still living or meet her relatives. My mother talks about her all the time, that was her Best Friend in the later 30's and 1940s.

My Grandfather was Charles Chung Tiam-Fook and his father was Peter Chung Tiam-Fook from New Amsterdam. Charles owned the Paladium Movie Theater in 79 Village, Currentyne. He was married to Sookea Mohamed (Indian Woman) My Mother was born in May 24, 1930 - her father was 8 when he died at 48 years old, so he would have been born 1890? His childrens names were - Clarice, Ira, Joe, Kathleen (my mother), Stella, Henry and two others died at a young age.
If anyone knows the history of these folks I can be reached at kellymodjeski@yahoo.com

Mother's half sister was Naranee Mohammed Mangru-and Balla Mangru He & she's 96 and still living.

We don't have any pictures of the village - but mother tells us her father charles Tiam-Fook owned several businesses when he was alive. Charles lived in skeldon - in the 20's & 30's. He had a lemonade store & a factory according to my 80 year old mother.

Wonderful site!

My great grandfather was Moses Chung and my grandmother was Sarah Chung, born Wong. My grandmother was their daughter, Florence born 1909 who married Cuthbert Walter Lee born 1902. That is as far back as I know. I would be very interested to know who came before Moses and Sarah.
