Relative from Malaysia
« on: Saturday 11 September 04 11:42 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone

My father-in-law's Father was from Malaysia and I was hoping that someone out there would be able give me some advice on how I might go about trying to find out more about him.

Any links to relevant websites etc would be most appreciated.

Thank you  :)

Hi there,

Rootsweb has a Malaysia board:

http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=localities.asia.malaysia.general

It does not look very busy though I am afraid,  but you may be able to find some pointers to help you make a start.

Cyndi's List has an asian page:

That includes a link to contact details for Malaysian Family history centres:

Good Luck,

Kazza.
