Hello, I've posted on this forum a long time ago and you where of great help finding the place of origin of my wife's great-grandfather. A friend of us now asked me to investigate her grandfather. His name is Su as well and he lived in Vietnam in the same area as my wife's great-grandfather. My friend has no idea of the place of origin of her grandfather in China, so we don't know if there is any relationship. Obviously we want to find out. Is there anyone who can help me translate this gravestone? Thanks for your help! Frank Visser The Netherlands.

Upon review of your previous threads and the coordinates I gave you 23.3078, 116.39564 for 河尾 or Hewei, indeed they are close. siyigenealogy.proboards.com/thread/1857/help-translate-gravestones-family-chaulink占陇 zhan long is located at 23.292441,116.268311 (southwest of Hewei) 普邑 pu shí is now Puning (simplified Chinese: 普宁; traditional Chinese: 普寧; pinyin: Pǔníng). Don't know the history.
