I am a decendant of the Wong Family. I am trying to find my Grandads Family. His name is Wong Kwan Yik. His Mum was Shee Lee Que and Dad was Willie Que{Quoi}. I was able to find out that he came from Canton ( Guangdong Province ) maybe Sun Wui county or more likely Siyi, Xinhui. My husband and I are planning to visit China in Feb 2013 for Chinese New Year. And also Taiwan to visit dear friends. What do I need to do to find his family and where he actually lived or came from???

Hi Margie, I got back from Xin Hui in September. Went there to visit relatives. My dad came emigrated from there. Yes this place is there. I hope you found your heritage. We made our journey from Guangzhou on a fast train ‘Ko Tit’ at 200km per hour. So how backward can it be? Train was about an hour, we enjoyed the ride and is very comfortable. Did you find the statute of Sun Yat Sen?

Looking to find out more about my paternal heritage from Xinhui County:

* Chen Nan (陳南): My grandfather, Chinese Air Force enlisted man, fought the Japanese in southern China and Burma, fled to Taiwan with the government in 1949.

* Li Baokui (李寶葵): My grandmother

Wondering if these names came up in any of your genealogy research? If so, please let me know, thanks!

I am trying to locate the area from where my great-grandfather emigrated to Victoria, Australia during the gold rush in the 1850s. It appears that his stated birthplace, Sun Wei, is the same as Xin Hui. Is there anywhere I can find some more information? I am intending to visit in August and would be pleased to at least find the location – I am expecting there will be no remains of the old towns to see.
Many thanks

Hi.

Awhile ago, you had the detailed map of Xinhui that you could click on and then enlarge to see all the neighboring towns. The map is the same that you have on this page.
I searched your site but could not find it. Could you please help. My parents come from Xinhiu, and I would like to go for a visit soon.

Thank you.
