Amazingly, I found out last Saturday that my ancestors were the pioneers of photography in Singapore. Their works are the single biggest collection in the Singapore National Archives (http://snb.nl.sg/itemdetail.aspx?bid=7259582). The whole bunch of relatives can be traced back to the 13th century and they were the 21st generation (I'm 23rd) and if anyone has any information of Eastern Studio or Lee Brothers Studio (7 studios in all), please share with me. I would be interested to know.
