Vancouver Group: Family Patriarch and Uncle I

vancouver group: Strangers on the surface, some of those Chinese villagers who greeted the Vancouver group turned out to be blood relatives, according to Vancouver Courier. They were feeding us and introducing us to cousins, nephews and nieces that we had never met when along comes an uncle I didn't know that I had, Grant recalled. It was November 2013, and Grant was flanked by three of his siblings and a documentary film crew tasked with travelling to the family patriarch's place of birth. I was taken aback. He was a spitting image of an uncle that had come to Canada and lived for 20-plus years here before his death. Holy smokes. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
