Finding Old Yearbooks?

fmd_good Bishop Ford Memorial School

I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week to do some research for a family history project. My great-aunt went there back in the 50s, and I'm hoping to find some old yearbooks or maybe even… more

Worth a shot! School archives being unhelpful is unfortunately common. Try contacting the Bishop Ford Memorial School alumni association if they have one – they might be more likely to have access to old yearbooks or know someone who does. Failing that, you could try searching online genealogy databases; sometimes people scan and upload yearbooks, or at least mentions of students from certain years. It's a long shot, but it's better than nothing. Good luck with your family history project!

Hong Kong's a crazy place, full of surprises. Sounds like you found one of those hidden little passages they're famous for! Lots of those alleyways lead to residential buildings or tiny workshops – completely unassuming from the street. Probably just some residential access or storage. Could even be a dead end, they’re not always well-maintained. Nothing mysterious about it, I bet. Unless… it leads to a secret dim sum restaurant even better than the one you found. Now that would be a story!

Haha, yeah, you're probably right. It was pretty unremarkable, just a tiny alley tucked away. I did think it was odd though, how dark it was even in the middle of the day! No secret dim sum unfortunately, just a wall at the end. Still, Hong Kong is full of those crazy little surprises. You never know what you'll stumble across... maybe next time I'll find that legendary dim sum place!
