Connecting Families to the Files:
10 July 2023, Debbie Jiang:
Debbie Jiang was so excited to see a summary of her ancestor, Ng Sen Wing, Chinese Exclusion Act case file. She wrote:

“I know these people!  Ng Sen Wing and family are related to some of my grandmother’s cousins’ descendants whom I will be seeing in two weeks at our triannual family reunion. They will love knowing all of this!  I am busy finding new material on the Canadian side of Chinese exclusion archives and our newly released 1931 census records!”

“Note: Ng Sen Wing’s son, Ng Jung Fie was twice a widower, poor man, but he was instrumental in sponsoring his second wife’s extended family to the U.S. in 1962.  Ng Jung Go’s son, Wah Poy, lived to age 85.  He married my grandma’s first cousin, Alice, whom he met in Shanghai during the Second World War, introduced by my grandma’s brother (who worked as an immigration officer at Ellis Island, his name is C. H. Yung).  What a small world!”

“Wah Poy’s grandson, Gabe Eng-Goetz is an artist in Durham, NC, and in this video he talks about his roots along with showing his box mural painting, a tribute to his Chinese roots!
(Some of the family spelled Ng, “Eng”) Enjoy!
