Dear Diane,
Thank you for your note about your family.This particular Ong family site represents an Ong family that does not have a Chinese background.My family surname comes from East Anglia in England.We do not know for certain how a name like Ong developed for an English family, but there is often confusion because the name is a common Chinese name, as well.(My mother's name is Lee Ong, and she often has to explain why she does not look Asian.)
If you examine some earlier postings in the Ong family forum, there are some listings from Ongs with a Chinese background.Perhaps, those Ongs might be able to provide you with a link to your family history.Please let me know if you find a website or family forum for your particular family.I am curious to know if one exists, and I wouldbe happy to inform other people about the site.
I believe that there might be other members of the english Ong family that reside in your neck of the woods.If you ever run into any of them, please tell them about this site.
Good luck!And take care--
Yours truly, Katie
