Our family origin story includes this poem written by an ancestor.
For many of us with the Tien 田 family, our given names were selected by our elders using a sequential character in the first three lines of this poem.
In the 18th generation of Tiens, the character was Chang, or 長, so I am Tien Chang-Chio, or 田長焯.
A gathering of our 17th generation parents and all of the siblings of the 18th generation in 1948.
