Descendants are living in Australia - (Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Tamworth and Hobart), - NZ, New York and Firenze, Italy!    Some are temporarly living in HK and Singapore.   We still have reunions from time to time.

 

 

The attached documents (below) of  The War Precautions (Alien Registration) Regulations 1916 for James & Mary, was sent (23.03.2006) by Megan Neilson along with her personal comment....

 

This raises an issue that if Chung Gon's naturalization had occurred as indicated in Chin Kit's letter, (Megan's great grand-father) In the matter of "The Alien Act" and In the matter of Chung-Gon , 6th Dec.,1900, then why are he and Mary required to register as aliens?     

 

Her guess is that the letter was not accepted as sufficient evidence, or perhaps became insufficient with the advent of WWI.
