this post is interesting and it may have some sort of link to my sweet wife Myla Tan. Mylas father is Lope Tan and he has a sister Leola who is married to an American. myla said her father was a castaway on a vegitible boat from Macaou to Cebu back in the 50s. Their fathers name was Alejandro Tan. If you find something any thing really, any history at all, as my wifes family is rather tight lipped on the matter

I am researching Peter Anderson TAN, and would love to see a copy of his obituary.

I am connected to his daughter Mathilda Anderson, who married William Wirt Daugherty.

My husband's father had a textile shop (family business) prior to the war in Binando, Manila. He was part Chinese and could read & write Chinese, English and Tagalog. He had two small children and was married to Felisa Tan. He was a civilian taken by the Japanese during the war and was never heard from again. Anyone who may have known his family or their family textile store, please let me know.

Thank You,
Monica

Siok-Uan Lee Tan, Age,104,born in, Suzhou, China ,daughter of Sio-Tang Lee and Ching-Foo Sang.

KENNELLYMARKA — 2010-08-17 04:29:03Z

Siok-Uan Lee Tan .
Siok-Uan Lee Tan, 104, passed away peacefully at her grandson's home in South Burlington, Vt., August 13, 2010, her grandson, Christopher K. Tan and his wife, Cindy A. Tan at her bedside. She was born in Suzhou, China August 3, 1907, the daughter of Sio-Tang Lee and Ching-Foo Sang. Siok-Uan Lee Tan was married to the late Chinese Nationalist hero, Tan Qingji, who was credited with the small revolution which took place eleven days prior to the final battle that overthrew the Qing Dynasty of China in 1911. Known to the family as Amma, which is Chinese for grandmother, Siok-Uan came to the United States in 1963. In 1992, she studied for the naturalization exam, passed the test, and became a U.S. citizen. Though Amma had lived a privileged life with homes in Japan, the Philippines and Hong Kong, she left that behind to care for the children of her son, James S. B. Tan and his wife Barbara. She moved with the family to Erie, Pennsylvania and remained there for ten years. She spent time with her daughter's family in Toronto, Canada and then lived for 20 years in Los Angeles near her son Che-Bin Tan and her grandson Derek's family. In 2008, she moved to South Burlington to live with her grandson Christopher and his family, where she enjoyed spending time with her great-grandchildren Xander and Lyssa. Siok-Uan grew up in a Chinese middle class family during a time when foot binding and no schooling were women's lot, yet she fought to free her feet and her father sent her to school. She married into wealth and status, yet saw her husband die and lost her home in the Philippines during WWII to the Japanese. She spoke Mandarin, Fujian, Cantonese, Japanese and the language of the Philippines, Tagalog and she patiently taught her daughter-in-law, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren Chinese. Siok-Uan is survived by her daughter, Se-Eng Lim and her grandsons Milton Lim, Winston Lim, Ericton Lim and their wives and granddaughter Abigail Hossu and her husband of Toronto, Canada; her son Che-Bin Tan and his wife Esther and her grandson Derek and his wife of Laguna Woods, California; her grandsons Christopher K. Tan of South Burlington, Vt. and Craig K. Tan of Ashburn, Va. and their wives; her granddaughter Leslie M. Tan of Kent, Ohio and her husband. She is also survived by fifteen great grandchildren; as well as family in the Philippines and Australia. She was preceded in death by her husband, Qingji Tan and her son, James Se-Bin Tan, of Meadville, Pennsylvania. If friends and family wish make a donation in Siok-Uan's memory, her son James has a memorial scholarship fund at Edinboro University. Please contact Marilyn Goellner at 814-732-1778, or mgoellner@edinboro.edu. Funeral arrangements are at the Ready Funeral Home, 261 Shelburne Road, Burlington, VT 05403, 802-862-0991. Calling hours are Friday August 20, 2010 from 6-9 p.m, and the service will be held Saturday August 21, 2010 at 1 p.m.

Re: Interested to find ancestors--TAN family from Indonesia

Hi Adreinne;

I am sorry that I don't see an apparent connection between our families. At least not as for now; you never know with genealogy! We might be distance cousins.

I did not see your message until just now, while visiting the LDS library in Utah! My apology for the late reply.

I assume you have looked at the LDS library search for records for Surabaya. LDS have extensive records for Indonesia, and you can order the micorfilm to be delivered to a local LDS facility for a nominal fee. I have found key birth records for my grandfather through records from Padang through this process.

My father, Tan Tjien Lien and I were born in Semarang. I see you have the same consternation as I do about having the name-change. My father indonesian name is Tantosubroto. It is sad that we're losing our Chinese heritage.

Good luck on your search

If related, I'd love to share information.

Angelina,

I assume you have ask your relatives, and record as much history as possible e.g. bring a voice recorders to family gatherings, write letters to distance relatives, etc. I myself was from Semarang, Indonesia.

If you are asking from an ousider (like this posting), to start with, it would be good to supply as much details as possible about yourself and your parents: Birth places, dates, DOD, last location. This way you could at least start a possible trend for those who are interested.

As you may know, Tan is a very common Chinese name in SE Asia, so if you are looking for leads in this site (which is predominantly for western hemisphere, esp. USA), you will probably be disappointed. If you are indeed from Asia, many old family tombs has their ancestory listing at their grave sites -- it is worth a try to go back to your native village. That is one of my dreams to do that.

And the most important part -- have fun doing the search. Good luck!

Interested to find ancestors but don't know where to start.

I am from the TAN family. Can't even my own surname ancestors. Would appreciate tips or more . I hope to be able to find my family roots as far as possible. Thank you.
