Hi...

Can anyone help me with my grandfather's name? As far as i know our family speaks teochew dialect. His name was written Tan Cheng Khiang on his tomb. I only know that Tan is 陈, please help me with the rest of it?

Not sure if it helps but Singapore MP Low Thia Khiang, a Teochew speaker, writes his name as 刘程强 where Khiang = Qiáng.

Based on the info, my guess is you're likely from Malaysia/Singapore. It's best to look into family records for the chinese characters. Notwithstanding that my personal guesses are 陳振強 , 陳進強 and 陳清強.
