Chinese Roots
Based on oral story, my great grandfather migrated to Philippines from China. His estimated birth was on 1878 in Kolangsu, Fukien, China although one of the uncles said he was from Amoy, China. I was able to find his Chinese character name, none of us can read nor right Chinese characters. What we know he became known as Deogracias H. Ty Chiulim, or D. H. Ty Chiulim locally based on signatures I had found from research. Is there a way we could probably trace out his roots based on his Chinese character name? I am attaching his signature with Chinese characters as well. Note, the other signature there was from his son born here in the Philippines named Alfonso Villegas Ty.
Please connect me with people who can help and can communicate in English. Thank you.

Hi Margie,
The name on the right side of the attachment is the Chinese characters of the image is 郑秋霖.
The Chinese character on the left is 鄭亞奔士.
It is hard to trace Chinese roots by just a couple of Chinese names. You can try to book a free online consultation with us to see if we can help you further.
