序
本族譜將會在互聯网發行, 希望各位親友繼續支持, 提供更多的資料.希望我們能學習我們的祖先的奮斗精神,將徐氏家族發揚光大,為社會和人類的發展貢獻力量.
This family tree was developed at the request of Justin Sew Hoy and other family members, who wanted to build a complete genealogy of Choie Sew Hoy's descendants. We gathered some information ourselves and many family members have given us help.
We know there will be errors and gaps. We are relying on everyone who reads this to send us the facts we don't have.
You can send corrections and additions to any of these site managers:
Justin SEW HOY (P49 G31): justinsh@xtra.co.nz
Mike CHUI (P39 G32): mike@koolzone.co.nz
Trevor & Jenny AGNEW (P33 G32): agnewtj@xtra.co.nz

Wayne CHUI (P37 G32): wchui888@gmail.com
Jason SEW HOY (P50 G32): jsewhoy@gmail.com
WHAT INFORMATION IS NEEDED?
We need more facts and we need more people's stories.
We Need Facts:
* Names, especially women's names.
* Correct spellings, with Chinese characters and/or Roman alphabet versions.
* Dates for births, deaths and marriages.
* Locations of births, deaths and marriages.
* Family contact details: mail address, phone number, e-mail.
We Need People's Stories:
Think of your parents and grandparents. Now is the time to record their story:
* Dates, birthplace?
* Where were they brought up? Where were they educated?
* What did they do for a living? Where? Any special interests?
* Did they travel, change countries, make special visits?
* Military service? Clubs and voluntary groups?
* What was their proudest achievement?
* What stories do family members recall about them?
* Are there photographs? Can you provide names and dates?
Interview family members who are still living. Talk to surviving relatives and friends. Do you have letters, certificates or wedding invitations that contain information?
Family photographs are important. Make sure names, dates and places are included.
When you have gathered your materials and written your relative story, show it to your own family and see if they can add to it.
Then send either of us a copy, please:

Mike Chui used his computer skills to create this family tree and enter all the infomation in both Chinese and English.
