Doug Ng’s cousin, Debbie Jiang, found information on Doug’s grandfather, Ng Sen Wing, and great Grandfather on the blog. Doug Ng and his wife, Dorian, who live in Florida, were visiting family on the west coast so Doug sent a request to National Archives-Seattle to see his Chinese Exclusion Act family files. Ng Sen Wing and family owned a vegetable farm in Jacksonville, Florida in the early to mid-1900s. Ng’s file was extremely rich in information. Besides photos of four family members, the file contains the file numbers for Ng Sen Wing’s wife, his parents, three brothers, five nieces and nephews, and three sisters-in-laws. This enabled Doug to request to see those files also.
Doug and Dorian visited NARA-Seattle yesterday. It was so much fun to see how excited they were to read the family files.
