Howdy!

I just updated the entries in my bibliographic database. These sources can
give you insight into how to learn about your family history, or else they
offer insight into some of the causes of the Chinese diaspora.

Byers,Paula K (Ed.) (1995): Asian American Genealogical Sourcebook. Gale
Research Inc., New York. 280 pages.

Chang, Leslie (1999): Beyond the Narrow Gate: The Journey of Four Chinese
Women from the Middle Kingdom to Middle America. Dutton, New York. 289
pages.

Ching, Frank (1988): Ancestors: 900 Years in the Life of a Chinese Family.
Fawcett Columbine, New York. 528 pages.

Hook, Brian; Twitchett, Denis (1991): The Cambridge Encyclopedia of China.
Cambridge University Press, Cambridge. 502 pages.

Low, Jeanie W Chooey (1993): China Connection: Finding Ancestral Roots for
Chinese in America. JWC Low Company, San Francisco. 65 pages.

Pan, Lynn (1994): Sons of the Yellow Emperor. Kodansha International, New
York. 419 pages.

Pan, Lynn (1999): The Encyclopedia of the Chinese Overseas. Harvard
University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts. 399 pages.

She, Colleen (1996): A Student's Guide to Chinese American Genealogy. Oryx
Press, Phoenix, Arizona. 168 pages.

I have the above at home. Another source (authored by a list member), which
I do not have, is:

Sue-A-Quan, Trev (1999): Cane Reapers: Chinese Indentured Immigrants in
Guyana.

I don't have all the usual bibliographic information (i.e., publisher, city
of publication; Trev, could you send that, please). More information about
the book can be found at his Web site at http://members.tripod.com/~CGRoots.
