Hmmm thats a prob, the only name i have is the mothers name so im hoping she will have had the same name :/ She wasnt married when she had the child so im assuming the child would hve been registered in her name mong wai sum |

well...my father in law just told me his mother had a child before him, a girl. She was born in hong kong, taken to germany (we think army) and taken into care but we dont know why?! My father in law was born 1966 so im assuming maybe between 1960 and 1965....this is literally all i have, the little girl was named lisa. |

Was this when Hong Kong was still British ? if so the birth may be on the consular records . |
