(This post is replicated on our wedding site, which is still under construction.)

I found an excellent site a few months back called My Heritage – it’s a site which lets you build your family tree as far as the branches will go.

I started working on this site, as one of the things I originally wanted to include in our wedding day programme was a detailed family tree. This hope of mine quickly faded away when I looked closer at the Chong family details. You see, my paternal grandmother (Jong Ah Moo) – when she passed away in 2004 – had around 200 descendants!

It took me a good part of a week to painstakingly trawl through the Chinese names in a printed newspaper obituary (which included a comprehensive list of family members down to great-grandchildren) to realise that there’s actually just too many names on the Chong side to possibly fit onto an A5, A4 or even A3 programme!

Have a look at the family tree and see if you can figure out how to fit it onto a piece of paper: Chong | Ning family tree.
