The 3rd Generation

This is the 3rd generation in Taiwan. Ma-Ju (李媽助)was the husband of Yang, Lien(楊嶺). Three sons descended from them, namely, Ge-Pai (李枝沛), Fu-shen (李福生) and Chen-wan (李成萬), from old to young. Our family decended from Chen-wan branch.

The oldest son - Ge-Pai, was adopted because this couple (李媽助/楊嶺) was not able to rasie their own newborn alive in their first few attempts. But they gave live-birth to two other sons a few years after the adoption of Ge-Pai. Isn't it nice?

He was named as such (helped by mother?) because he was raised by a single mom and the life was harsh beyond imagination. This mother who suffered a lot but managed to raise her sons is Chen, Je (陳錐).
