My family relative, who was born in China, has said that our family roots (maternal) are from the following village:
Name of Village-----------------Kee Hing Li
County, City, District------------Toishan
Province---------------------------Guang Dong (Located in the East Coast and South of the mainland.) The largest city located in this Province is Guangzhou. (used to be called Canton) . Toishan is less than a 100 miles North East of Guangzhou and can be reached by car or boat.
I am having difficulty locating the village. My family spoke Toisanese. The family name was Gee (although changed to Lee on papers for US entry).
The description above is confusing since Taishan (which I believe is the modern name for Toishan) is not northeast of Guangzhou, but that is what my relative stated.
Can you help provide the location (coordinates or correct modern name) of the village? I have already searched the Chinese Roots Wiki without any success.
Thank you.
