Presentation
Tracing Heritage Back to China: One Family's Experience
Presented by Gayle & Sharon White
Gayle and Sharon (Wong) White have been researching Sharon's family history, from her birth in Ogden, Utah, back to a small village in Southern China. Along the way they learned a lot about Chinese coming to America from the mid-1800's to the early-1950's.
They are willing to share the experience that includes two visits to the National Archives, a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for family information, a meeting with the advisor to the PBS special on Chinese Coming to America, a trip to China to find the family villages, meetings with the village chiefs in each village, history of the Chinese amnesty program in the 1960's, purchase of a variety of books on Chinese in America, two visits to Angel Island (processing center for Chinese entering the US) and the preparation of three books of family pictures and documents.
Cost: $27.00/ non-members $25.00/ Members, including tax, gratuity.
