[quote=GUEST11686,457090]Dear Raymond, Just read your website information. My grandfather and father are from SUN GAI VILLAGE. I lived in Auckland for a few years in the 1970's and realised most of the Zengcheng migrants of old and for that matter Sungai people live in NZ. I am from Brisbane where my maternal grandfather settled and he is from Gualingcun which is on the otherside of the expressway on the maps about 1km away from Sungai Village. My relatives in Auckland are Peter Chan and Ronald Chan.There is a Billy Chong as well as a Michael Chong and Lawrence Chong who owned fruit shops on the North Shore in Takapuna and Northcote and they are my relatives. My paternal grandfather was called Henry Chong and he owned a fruit shop first in Parnell and then in Northcote. My father before he passed away had my name entered in the village roll in Sungai and I am the 28 generation of my line.The males in my generation have the first name of KWOK(GUO) meaning country to identify our position in the generational hierarchy. I am interested in finding out about your past travel to Sungai Village(Xin Street Cun) and hope to receive any bits of information that you may have about the Sungai people. Michael Chan.[/quote]
