Where in China, is our family from?

If you said Chinatown, New York City, you are wrong!

Toisan

You may see it spelled Taishan, depending on the dialect. Auntie Nancy informed us that our village is located near "Sanho Hot Springs", just South of Taishan City. My good friend John Lee, aka, John Moy, and his lovely wife Ella, visited Toisan a few years ago. They told us his family home was like a time capsule. Maybe he can share some of his pictures with us.
