I am looking for information about my paternal grandmother. I believe her name was Yat-Ling, but I could be wrong. She was born in Japan pre-WWII before moving to Hong Kong, where she married my grandfather, Kai-Ming Leung (dec. 1993), and had four children. I believe her first child was born in the mid 1950s. Unfortunately, I do not have any additional information about her, as my father rarely spoke about her. In addition, although she died in 2014 (approx.), I never knew her because she did not speak English and I do not speak Cantonese or Japanese.
