Biography of Mr LO YAT LO KAU
Wendy's great-grandfather came from a family of NAM HOI notables, born in 1895 and registered as Mr LO YAT LO KAU N°1930, he arrived in French Polynesia around 1915 at the age of 20, where he met his wife from the island of MAUPITI, Miss Tuteni a TERIIHAUNUI (born 1895-1978).
A very important man in the Chinese community (Little Brother of Mr LO A POUN, N°175 born around 1871, Founder of the Chinese Philanthropic Association), he established himself in Maupiti, where he developed a grocery business (the 1st in Maupiti).
He also did import-export business with China for various products, including vanilla and coffee.
He was the 1st to build water basins for the reserves, as well as a dormitory (youth hostel).
With his wife, they had 10 children, including Wendy's grandfather, Mr. LO YAT Roorau, a great farmer and traveler born in 1927 in Maupiti, who passed away in 2010.
It's with great pride that Wendy shares the genealogy of her Chinese ancestors, and she'll do her utmost not to break this continuity, which is the chain of business in commerce.
