Ah Jan: Santa Cruz, California, United States; I am one of the descendants of Chas Jan Wann aka Jan Con Sang,a Chinese laborer who graduated in the class of 1896 in Prescott, Arizona.I am still searching for the missing pieces of his life in the U.S.A. i.e. searching into my paternal great grandfather who was a registered U.S. resident in Prescott, Arizona before Arizona became one of the states of the United States in 1912! He carried with him optimistic views that there is a Happy Land. I am curious on where did the Chinese junks docked back in the 1870's beside San Francisco, California. Blogging to get help with the research which I started in the mid 1970's. http://webhawks.org/~cabt161juchen2509/
