SUMMARY:Wing Lung & The Lees: A Historical and Genealogical Account by Carol F. Lee
DESCRIPTION:Join us 💥this Saturday💥 for a fascinating historical and genealogical account of Montreal’s Chinatown from the 1890s through the 1920s\, told by Carol F. Lee through the lens of the Lee families’ history. \n\n\n\nThis event is free! From 11 AM to 2 PM at Chinatown House – 116 de la Gauchetière W. \n\n\n\nCarol F. Lee’s grandfather immigrated to Montreal in 1893 from I Gong (Dai Kong) village in Toisan (Taishan) county. Her grandmother and their eldest son came to Montreal in 1909. Carol’s grandfather and great-uncle came from the same village as the Lee family of Wing Lung & Co. and WIng’s Noodles\, and the two families stayed in touch across the decades in Montreal and Hong Kong. \n\n\n\nCarol’s father and Carol herself were born in Montreal. Her family lived in Pointe Claire until they moved to southern California in 1966. Starting at an early age\, Carol has been gathering stories about her family’s history from her parents\, uncles\, and others in Montreal. She majored in history at Yale and also studied at Oxford and Yale Law School. \n\n\n\nFor the last two decades\, she has spent a great deal of time adding to the oral histories by researching official documents\, historic newspaper and photo databases\, articles and books.
