New Members gregariousgreg Posted July 16, 2017 at 03:19 AM New Members Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 at 03:19 AM Hello, I would like to verify the translation on a ring that my great grandfather had made in China around World War II. It is supposed to say "Anderson" his surname. Is that, in fact, what it says? Thank you in advance, Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edelweis Posted July 16, 2017 at 01:45 PM Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 at 01:45 PM common transliterations for Anderson are 安德森, 安徒生 I would hazard a guess that the first character (1st image, top left) is 安, see L31633 here the 3rd character (top right) could be 生.
