Those surnames that are obviously Foochow at one glance:
Ting/ Ding = 陈 Tiong/ Diong =张 Ling = 林 Chieng = 詹 Nga/ Ngeh = 倪 Nguei = 魏 . . . Mine Foochow, is Kong/ Gong = 江， but no difference from Cantonese use. |

QUOTE(t3arsCulprit @ Jun 18 2012, 02:52 PM) Sure?? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaifeng_Jews But having a 石 surname doesnt mean u r automatically a Jew. Interestingly, although my great-grandparents were from Minhou, Fuzhou, our 堂号is traced back to its origin in Kaifeng, Henan. But I don't think we are Jews, lol! |
