My late grandfather Ah Kau Ng Kun arrived by boat from China to Samoa in the early 1900s as an indentured labourer and died without anyone in our family bothering to retrieve details about his family in China. The name Ah Kau I was told was a name Samoa gave him upon arrival like NZ had done with Chinese immigrants. I'm getting a copy of his signature that was on his A4 size passport document that he used from Samoa to NZ and will seek help using that too.
Can anyone tell me where in Samoa I can possibly get the information or such copy of the manifest my grandfather would have received or copy of the change over of his name? The USA definitely has records of their Chinese immigrants so Samoa should have the same but where?
