牙买加女子中国寻根觅祖

Paula Williams Madison spent her whole life looking for her big family. As a child she asked her half Chinese, half Jamaican mother questions about their family’s past. 

Her mother, Nell Vera Lowe, was a descendant from China. Nell’s father Samuel Lowe left her when she was 3 years old. She told Madison he left Jamaica and went back to China and died there. 

After a lifetime of looking for her family Madison had no idea the lineage would date back over 3000 years. In 2012, Madison and 19 Black Chinese family members flew to China. Over 300 of Samuel Lowe’s descendants welcomed them. 

In a visit to her grandfather’s grave, Madison was in tears. “I am so happy that I am standing here in China before his grave, we the families are together”
