Hi Paul, I haven't been on this website for quite a long time...years in fact. So my apologies for the late reply.
In answer to your questions:
Yes Dad's nickname was "Larry" and is recorded on his headstone as Henry Edward (Larry) Sinclair.
I can't tell you if Athia Tiga Oesman was Malay but what I can tell you is this: I had my DNA test done a couple of years ago and through Mum's side of the family (Modoo/Lambert) it came up with 4% Asian. This broken down became 2% Philippines, 1% Southeast Asia-Vietnam & 1% Southeast Asia-Dai (Tai). I'm assuming this is through Musha's (Olga's) side of the family and not Opa's (Lambertus Modoo) as he was Dutch and came from Haarlem..
Cheers, Penny

Hi folks,
I'm new to this web site.
My mother was Maria Johanna Modoo. Born 11 March, 1934 Purwokerto, Java. Died 22 October, 2015, Dimbula FNQ, Australia.
She was one of the younger daughters of Lambertus Martinus Lucus Modoo (Born 29-10-1894 Holland. Died 4-7-1968, Melbourne, Australia) and Olga Patricia Mascot (nee Lambert) Modoo.
"Musha" as she was affectionately known as by her grandchildren was born in Singapore: 10 December, 1896.  She died on Feburary 6th, 1982 in Melbourne, Australia. Her and Opa were married in Surabaya, Indonesia, on 14 February 1920.
After the war, the family briefly went to London ,England as their eldest son Lambertus (Bert) Modoo married Joan Walton. That was how my Mum (Maria, affectionately known as Marika) met my Dad Henry Edward Sinclair. They emigrated to New Zealand. The Modoo clan to Melbourn,e Australia. I have traced the Modoo line back to 1731 in Holland. I haven't woked out how Musha (Olga Mascot Lambert) fits into this tree. But a previous commentor talks about visiting Aunty Olga in Melbourne.
Cheers,
Penny
