 Yeoh Nam Keong was in Ipoh and popped into YLCO museum. However since YLCO is private museum Ignatius Chew was duly alerted and arrived in due time.  

Yeoh Nam Keong, the son of Yeoh Kian Hin was in Ipoh with his wife Tay Yew Bee and daughter Yeoh May Kim. The family had heard of YLCO museum and came to view the family exhibits. What they received was a short history lesson about his Yeoh family as well as his huge relatives courtesy of Ignatius Chew and his sister Agnes.

something missing on my family tree

....it's updated

At his family tree Nam Keong had to correct his name from Lam to Nam. He explained his name Nam was the result of being ‘misspelled’ at the time of his birth registration. He also added his mum’s name How See Moi@Lai Peng to the family tree. His daughter added in her sisters and aunt Chee Leng’s family members.

It was an interesting visit when family members confirm and update information on the family tree. It brings life to the family museum.

Thank you Nam Keong & family.
