We have identified four villages in the Taishan region where family members lived. We are hoping for asistance in locating them. Any specifics would help such as (1) directions, (2) nearest major towns/cities, (3) a map, or(4) lat/long so we can use Google Earth to find the villages. If names changed, it would be good to know the new names.
The villages are:
Dong Chao — Fathers village. We think it is near Doushan. We are told the original name was Dong Chiu Chuen but we cannot validate this information.
Ung Chew — This is our Grandfather’s village. We found the name written in some documents from 1904, so the village name could have changed. We know it is in the Taishan area and suspect it could be near Kaiping.
Tung Leung — This is our Grandmother’s village. We suspect it is near Kaiping. Ung Chew and Tung Leung could be near each other. Again, name was found in some old documents, so the name could have changed.
Jin How Market — Our Grandfather worked in this village for a couple of years.
