WhO ARE WE?

We are Shepherdsons from the East - The Asian Shepherdson. We have been researching our family roots for close to 20 years.

Our family history is documented in a publication titled "Journey to the Straits - The Shepherdson Story". It provides a detective story of how we pieced together the forgotten past.
