Nanhai appears to be located in Foshan.
Will look at maps to locate the village.

mchow, According to your photo the village is identified as Shatou (沙頭) GPS:22.934064, 112.883271 which unfortunately will not be shown in Google Maps. To see the village name just copy and paste this to Google Maps: 廣東省佛山南海沙頭. twoupman houseofchinn.com |

Thank You very much for the help. Sha tou appears on the map, where there is a river but I what I am looking for is the exact place where my family was from. From the research I made the entire Villa has the same last name 周 and they grew up ducks in the1900s.

There are number of Sha tou around Guangzhou. There are two Sha tou within the Nanhai district.
Therefore can't tell which one is yours.
You should try to contact that organization for information of the photo. It was originated there.

mchow, On the left hand side of the photo it says 港僑南海沙頭同鄉會 which is an Overseas Hong Kong Nanhai Shatou Association for people from the same 鄉 Heung (Cantonese)or township which means your ancestral village is within this cluster of villages. From a Chinese website I found the township of Shatou 沙頭 was established in 1926 and also goes by the name of 香港南海沙頭同鄉會 or Hong Kong Nanhai Association from similar heung. I believe there are also other branches of this association overseas and perhaps you may be lucky enough to have one where you live, in which case you can probably inquire about it. Just to clarify, Nanhai 南海 is one of 5 counties in the prefecture of Foshan 佛山 and is not a part of Guangzhou 廣州 which is a mega capital city in Guangdong Province 廣東省. twoupman houseofchinn.com |

mchow,
周耀隹 Chow Yew Kai
永遠名譽會長Honorary President
港僑南海沙頭同鄉会-- Overseas Hong Kong Nanhai Shatou Association
香港南海沙頭同鄉會 or Hong Kong Nanhai Shatou Association
Add :地址：香港灣仔船街3號
Tel:電話：2527 6050
As your grandfather was the Honorary President(永遠名譽會長 )of the Overseas Hong Kong Nanhai Shatou Association(港僑南海沙頭同鄉会), you can assume that he was the President of the association at one time and he
must be well known. You can have relaive who can speak Cantoese and call the Assocation in Hong Kong and tell them that village raising Duck. This way you may find out which Shatou沙頭 is the one you are looking for.
Good Luck
Fonny
