The Eurasian Connection

"Today, 15 August 2024, will be the 238th Anniversary of THE ASSUMPTION DAY LANDING, when the first Serani folk arrived in Penang."

My late grandmother was a Leslar, who then married a Castillo. We also have Newmans in the family who used to live at Argus Lane in Penang's Kampong Serani. (refer to pic)

From Penang Wikia:

Argus Lane, within George Town's UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a narrow lane that zig-zags between Love Lane to the west and Pitt Street to the east. The lane that stretches across the rear of the Church of the Assumption is still home to a number of Eurasian Catholic families.
