In order to trace your ancestor’s village of origin you need to know the county and the name of the villages, ideally in Chinese characters. Have their names in Chinese characters would also help.

I am a descendant of the Hee Chock and Tong Shee Chock Family. I am trying to find my Grandparents Family. I was able to find out that he came from Canton (Guangdong Province) maybe Sun Woy, Xinhui. My daughter and I are planning to visit China in the near future for Chinese New Year. What do I need to do to find his family and where he actually lived or came from? Both migrated to Hawaii in the late 1800.

My late Grandfather 陈克述 was the 24th generation descendant of Chen Xuan 陈宣 in Xinhui. He went to Malaya (now Malaysia) around 1910 or earlier. His children were all born there and his descendants are living in Malaysia, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand (where I live now.) He left a copy of the 陈氏家谱 (brush-written by him.) Before my Father passed away, he added names of female descendants. I am now gathering family stories from as many members as possible, and hoping to find relatives related to us.

Hi Margie.I am also trying to find the family of my grandfather James chung leong who came from Xinhui to Ballarat in the Gold rush days.He arrived in 1895 from Xinhui and lived a full and happy life as a chinese herbalist.He has been written about in books and had a wonderfull reputation within the comunity.Although when my grandfather arrived in Australia they wrote his name as Chung Leong instead of lee chung leong…..Lee being his surname and he took James as his given name..The search is long and quite hard as I do not have a village of which he came from and I only know of his father being Jin Shi and orange farmer from Xinhui……I know there is a huge Lee family somewhere with a connection.But I must say I don’t know where to start ….

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?
