The Search for One Family’s History
Author: S. Chandra Mohan
Publisher: Partridge Publishing Singapore
ISBN: 1543768407
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 149
Book Description
This is the unique story of more than five generations of Malaysians and Singaporeans who originated from South India and settled first in British Malaya and later in what was then the crown colony of Singapore. It is a remarkable personal tale of the efforts to trace the original village of their ancestors in a remote part of Trichy in South India, a task made difficult by the passage of time and the lack of a common family surname for people of South Indian origin. It is also a poignant tale of the trials and tribulations of one family in a foreign land, put together with painstaking research. It is a welcome addition to Asian literature as very few narratives exist of the family history of South Indian Tamils in Singapore and Malaysia.

A Lost Sheep of Shenandoah

Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1665555742
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 95
Book Description
DNA Reveals Imposter: Charles Edwin Rinker Changed His Name to Harry Bernard King One Man, Four Families: DNA Reveals Harry Bernard King aka Charles Edwin Rinker Why would a young man leave the beautiful blue ridge mountains of Virginia and move to the flat fields of Iowa, by himself, without any apparent relatives nearby? Harry Bernard King appeared in Worth County, Iowa, in 1894, about 27 years old. He married there in 1896 and had five children. His obituary in 1919 said he was born and raised in Virginia, but no documentary evidence was found for him in that state despite thirty-five years of research by nationally recognized genealogists. Thanks to DNA that linked Harry to his Virginia origins under another name, Charles Edwin Rinker, along with two additional marriages and an illegitimate son, Harry was really Charlie, a lost sheep of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Shenandoah, Virginia. Charlie could change his identity, but he could not change his DNA!

From the Mists of Martyrdom
Author: Ildikó Gyöngyvér Sárközi
Publisher: LIT Verlag Münster
ISBN: 3643908938
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
This book is the result of nearly three years of fieldwork among the Sibe, an ethnic minority long caught up in processes of Chinese imperial expansion and nation building. Split into two groups since the eighteenth century, 5000 kilometres separate Sibe in their Manchurian homeland from their co-ethnics in Xinjiang, northwest China. After 200 years, contacts were re-established in the 1950s. In this study, the author focuses on the (re)construction of ethnic awareness by ``local'' and ``official'' Sibe historians. Analysing how the cornerstone of Sibe history~-- the Great Western Resettlement~-- was turned into a myth, she demonstrates that writing their own history allowed the Sibe to reinterpret their shared past and identity. Combining analysis of primary sources and text-based data with ethnographic observations, this monograph offers a window on previously unknown dimensions of Chinese nation-building and makes an original contribution to historical anthropology.
