The SF Public Library's History Room has a boatload of information on Chinese History. Also the Chinese Historical Society and Chinese Cultural Association can help you out.

Try this URL, at the bottom is an info about immigration to Angel Island: http://archaeology.parks.ca.gov/mc/mc14.htmYou may want to try to find more references on this old immigration station.
Keep us posted about outcome of your findings.
