Hey amigos,

So, I need a bit of help. My mum's side of the family are Europeans that grew up or were born in China. My only certain entry is my grandma, Gertrude Rocha, who was born in Tientsing in China in 1922. Her parents were Mario Lizola Rocha and Augusta Conceicao, with the only certain fact being that Mario died in Hong Kong in 1965. Aside from that, my trail has gone cold, partly due to the fact that I don't know if they themselves were born in China or elsewhere.

Any help would be appreciated!

Jasper
