Rev. Chan Legacy Project: Rev. Chan Yu Tan Family Highlights
by
Todd
on Fri 14 Jan 2005 11:16 PM PST
The Rev. Chan Legacy Project documents 7 generations of Chinese Canadian history.
The Rev. Chan Yu Tan family and descendants were featured in the museum show "Three Early Chinese Canadian Pioneer Families", created by the Chinese Cultural Centre Museum and Archives.
Rev. Chan Yu Tan Family Tree is 7 generations long, 14 pages long and includes over 370 names.
The Rev. Chan Legacy Project recognizes the importance of Canada�s early Chinese missionary pioneers and the way the Chan family descendants reflect the integration and assimilation into Canadian culture despite the challenges of extreme racial prejudice and discrimination. Legacy projects to share the Rev. Chan story with fellow Canadians include: photographic archives, historical artifacts and stories have been collected. A Family tree was created. Family Reunions were organized in 1999 and 2000, and are planned again for 2007. A website is underway more »
