Hi Susann. I am the granddaughter of Henri Weyler and Maggie Petersen-Weyler. My mother was raised in Shanghai along with her 3 siblings and always spoke of our Chinese heritage from her mothers side but we never knew much about her other than they lived in Hong Kong and that is where my grandmother Maggie grew up. I would love any.more info or to share stories.

Hi Dody, What a nice surprise to meet a family member! Maybe you already had a look at what I published #Petersen entries with information about our greatgrandfather Christian Friedrich Wilhelm Petersen, his wife Annie Maria Petersen and their children Wilhelmine Auguste, Margaret Mary (your grandmother), Martha Louise, Louise Helen (my grandmother), Henry William Christian and Annie Bertha. Would be happy to share information, maybe by e-mail. Kind regards, Susann
