Vietnamese Boat People to Montreal | Tran Thi Tuyet Trinh, Lost Friend

After seeing my postcards of Quebec churches and my interest in genealogy, PHAM QUANG TRUNG left a rather intriguing message in one of my comment boxes today. This is completely out of my area of expertise so I’m republishing the post here in the hope that someone else will be able to help.

For those of you who are too young to remember, in the decade following the end of the Vietnam war many Vietnamese emmigrated to Canada, and of these several thousands came to Quebec. Most settled in Montreal and on Montreal’s South Shore (where I live). Pham Quang Trung of Vietnam is trying to track down a long lost friend and I sincerely hope that someone will be able to give us a hand. If you have any information please leave a message in the comment box and I will put you in contact with Pham. Thank you.

To Whom It may concern

In 1979, my friend TRAN THI TUYET TRINH who was living on 24 TA THU THAU, SAIGON VIETNAM and left VN by boat and arrived in Montreal Quebec CANADA . She is a pious person and often to go to the churches. She has brothers whose names are TRAN HUNG LINH, TRAN DUY LINH…and whose sister is TRAN THI THUY TRINH. I still had contact with her until 1984. I’ve been looking for her in 25 years. If anyone has information on this person, please contact me email. Your help is greatly appreciated.
