About the Author

Emma Woo Louie of Palo Alto, California, is a second generation Chinese American whose concern about her children’s family knowledge led to this book. She also wanted to record for posterity the surnames spelled according to Cantonese and other non–Mandarin dialects that arose for Chinese Americans from the 19th century to 1950.
