Hi,
                                     
                                    My Name is 
                                    Paul, I'm trying to locate my ancestors.
                                    According to my
                                    Father, my Great Grand father was Tai and lived  in a Tai village named Sam(three) Cho( peak), or Sam
                                    chom, in Xieng Khouang Province in Laos. My great Grand Father was adopted in to a Hmong Family, later he married a Tai lady who
                                    gave birth to my Grand father, then  my Grand Father was married to my grand mother who was a Hmong Lady, so in
                                    other words  my Father is half Tai and half Hmong . 
                                     
                                    In  1972 when
                                     I was in Laos, I noticed that some Tai people who lived in Thong Sanang Vietiane Laos, were from the same Village as
                                    my Great Grand father, but at that time , I was too young  to find out  the ancestors of my Great Grand Father.
                                     
                                    If anyone in the
                                    Tai community in America have ancestors that lived in Samcho around 1800's to 1960's I would appreciate your help please
