This is my mother's family tree. It was prepared online by my cousin Muhamed Al-Jeffrey Schokman Abdullah with the help of many others. Most of the family tree members are in Facebook.
My maternal great-grandfather was Frederick William Bulner (my mother said he was a German/Bavarian). My maternal great-grandmother was Emma Frances Krasse (she was Dutch; my mother said she was pretty).
My maternal grandmother was born Katherine Daisy de Coursey Bulner (also written as Decoursey Bulner). When she married my grandfather, she was named Maimunah Daisy and was called Munah. Their English wedding was registered at the historic St Mary's Church in Kuala Lumpur. This church is level with the nearby field (Padang Merdeka). Aunty Esther gave me their English certificate of marriage. Aunty Esther said they followed the rites of the Church of England.
My grandmother's youngest brother, Humphry @ Edward Bulner, recently came to visit KL and met with my aunt Esther and her son Jeffrey. Jeffrey has a photo in Facebook. We still have many maternal relatives in Singapore.
My maternal grandfather was Dr Che Lah bin Mohamed Joonos (pronounced You-nose). In the Dutch alphabet, the letter J has a Y sound. The same is true in Spanish. He was an early Malay doctor from Penang. I wrote about him in both my books on The Early Malay Doctors. He worked as a doctor mainly in Kuantan, Kuala Lumpur and Sungai Buloh. At that time, Malay doctors were treated as second class citizens and were paid half of what their British counterparts received. That's Malay history of medicine in British Malaya.
My late mother was born Jumabee Tulip bt Che Lah. She was born at Tanglin Hospital and raised in KL till age 23.
My late father was born at home at Imbi Road in Kuala Lumpur. He was Abdul Rashid bin Mohamed Yusope in KL. He was a big bully in his village (jaguh kampung). He was of Persian-Arab and Minangkabau-Chinese mix). His mother was Javanese Malay from Kg Baru, Kuala Lumpur.
My maternal blood aunts are Esther, June and Daisy. I met my 3 aunts when I was about 16-17 during the memorial service (tahlil) for Uncle Philip at Pak Saleh's house in Sentul, KL. Aunty June had passed away long ago in 1990. Her children live in KL. Aunty Esther lives in KL, near Jeffrey's house. Aunty Daisy lives in Western Australia.
