I have recently learned that my Grand Fathers given name was Chan Yip.He was recognized in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada as a significant benefactor of many Chinese emigrants to Canada.He is rememberd in Chinese associations in Winnipeg from murals painted of him, recognising his contribution to Chinese immigration and contribution in Winnipeg.
He apparently had an arranged Chinese marriage to a woman known as Gim Toy.Following my Grandfathers death, she liquidated his assets and returned to Hong Kong (apparently).I'm told there were seven children of this arranged marriage, however, the only two I recollect were Chi and Su Lin.
Any hints would be welcome.I have a great deal of genaological information that I can share on the other branches of the family.
