Dear listmates,
I volunteer at my local Family History Center and help people research
their families. I am stuck on trying to determine the veracity of a
family story. The patron's father came to the U.S. from India via
Hong Kong. I have found the father on a ship manifest, arriving at
San Francisco December 5, 1923, from Hong Kong (so far, so good). The
story is that the father said that he had tried to come a year earlier
but was detained in Hong Kong for a year because of a bombing attempt
on the viceroy there. I have tried some creative Googling but haven't
found anything useful. I appreciate any leads or pointers to sources
I can check on my own. And no, I do not read Chinese, unfortunately.
Many thanks,
Janice Sellers
