Chinese characters
editHis surname, Mak, is probably spelled 麥. Not sure about the other two syllables. Badagnani 03:02, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
- His signature is on his wedding certificate which is on a picture on page. I understand the characters are an older form of chinese script ;) DDB 07:35, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
Looks like the third character is 英. That's an easy one because it's also the Chinese word for "English." Badagnani 16:01, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
Got the third one: 世.
So the name is 麥世英. Badagnani 16:09, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
- Yes it is 麥世英 -- ran (talk) 17:57, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Categories
