The Family of Yap Yeow Chin in Singapore

Updated August 9, 2006

About Our Family Research


My paternal grandfather was Yap Yeow Chin (1887-1975). He was a doctor in Singapore.

My great-grandfather came to Singapore many years ago and married a Peranakan lady here. However, he died when my grandfather was only 6 years-old. We don't know his name, or even which village he came from in the Fujian province - so that makes his profile that of just about every other Chinese immigrant in Singapore. Still, I'm hoping to trace my great-grandfather and his lineage as far as possible .

My paternal grandmother was Jesse Madgalene Lange (1902-1974). Her father was George Edward Lange, and her mother was Edith Mildred Bodestin (Boudystyn?). I'm also trying to trace more information about them.

If you have any information to share, I'd be most grateful to hear from you. While you're here, if you're searching too, here's wishing you all the best in your search for your family!
