my grandfather came to British Columbia, Canada as indentured labour to
work on the railroad sometime prior to the 20th century. i've been
researching my grandfathers' roots back to the Toisan district in
China. i am planning a trip to Guanzhou in August. do you know of
an agency in China to visit where i can find more information about my
family history?
