Hi again, Can anyone translate this tombstone for me? Is there any information on the ancestral place? I can read the right side is something about Zhongshan, but is it a Village? Or just the Zhongshan Benevolent society? Mahalo!  |

In Mandarin pinyin, the right side column says "a native (人氏) of Zhongshan Gudou Pinglan (中山谷都平嵐)".
If you look up the Chinese characters "谷都平嵐" using Google Maps, you'll find a location just south of Zhongshan city. There are several Pinglan villages clustered together (Pinglan East, Pinglan South, Pinglan, Pinglan 1st village, Pinglan 2nd village). There's also a Gudou Pinglan East Village police station on the map.

Wonder if 谷都 was a previous name that is no longer used or the area consolidated.
In addition to the police station, there is the 谷都 highway.
