Once again. Chas Jan Wan is the official name on his 1894 authentic U.S. Certificate of Residence, as a result of the 1892 Gary's Act, we ended up with an authentic photo image of our great grandfather whose given name was Jan Wan, the phonetic pronounciation of "Cheng" and "Wan" means "Playful", according to late greataunt Mrs Dorah Choy. A 1930s HongKong University graduate and a dedicated "Christian/Protestant" who went to a Bethel if not a Pentacostal Church in B.C.C. HongKong, not the Hop Yat Church in Kowloon where you and I were "sprinkled" on in 195(8) when you were still in the arms of mother.
