The Setians migrated between Singapore and Hong Kong for business and marital reasons. Bedros had relatives living in Hong Kong. There was a Setian family in Canton then Hong Kong for many years in the 19th century forward. I am a descendant of Samuel Seth originally from Hong Kong. He migrated to British Guiana and stayed there but one son "went back" to Hong Kong. <BR/><BR/>Joy SethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10523517.post-27359565416544617472007-03-19T20:39:00.000+08:002007-03-19T20:39:00.000+08:00Forever Armenia And its peopleForever Armenia And its peopleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10523517.post-1161486398496839172006-10-22T11:06:00.000+08:002006-10-22T11:06:00.000+08:00I have just visited this heritage site.

It's an honor to have an expert on the regional Armenian community visiting our blog! Our primary source for most of the errors you address ( besides the date of Christianity's introduction to Armenia) was Lee Geok Boi, Faiths of our Forefathers; The Religious Monuments of Singapore, 2002.<BR/><BR/>Out of curiosity, do you know if the Armenian Church was the first religious building to have electricity in Singapore? Also do you by any chance know what was the the occupation of A. Joaquim's father? If these answers are covered in your book I'll happily go read it!<BR/><BR/>We also feature the Armenian Church in a mobile phone audio guide we have developed for the Singapore Biennale. I will check our script tonight to see if any of your clarifications need to be incorporated.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for your feedback!<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>StefanDave and Stefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03374243021807086912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10523517.post-1153064746113642942006-07-16T23:45:00.000+08:002006-07-16T23:45:00.000+08:00Congratulations for this job.I´m armenian from Arg...Congratulations for this job.<BR/>I´m armenian from Argentina.
