WHO IS Jim Andreassends Father? If my interest in family history and genealogy has a starting point it was to find who my Dad`s birth Father is. Dad didn`t know May was his mother until he was 50 in 1976 . May said at the time that she couldn`t remember the name of his father. Some comments made two years ago that his name was Jim Yuen or Yuan.
Most people have the luxury of knowing who their Parents and Grandparents are, for those that don`t it can leave a huge gap which a simple piece of knowledge can start to fill. TV programs like `Who do you think are` and `Missing pieces` are helping to create an understanding why it is important and relevant to future generations. Some may consider it a pointless exercise that will not succeed, but in many ways it already has. I am collating all the information I have so far relating to Dad`s origins including Chinese in Timaru, Politics, Laws, Time line, Rumours, Facts, comments, emails, Sue Lee Gardens, names of workers, Society at that time, something somewhere just may click with someone and provide the vital clue. Anything no matter how minor may just help. Please Contact Ronald [email protected] or phone +64 9 3601909
