Please help in locating my ancestry root - Guangdong 高家村

[jiannluen]

Hi Fellow Readers,

I am in search for my root and had been researching quite a few months back but with not much luck. I only have information on the following:

1. My Family Surname/Lastname is 高
2. From my uncle and aunty, we were hailed from  惠阳, 惠州. The village is 高家村.

Anyone can direct me where I can research more or have any invaluable information, very much appreciated.

Thanks,
JL

Hello jiannluen,

I'm not sure how much I can assist with, but I'll try. Here is the information I have for surname Gou/Ko:


CHUNGSHAN/ZHONGSHAN (中山)

HEUNG VILLAGE COORDINATES
Kay Ku Heung (旗皷鄉) Chuk Sau Yuen (竹秀園) 22 31 00 N, 113 19 30 E
Mar Ling Heung (馬嶺鄉) Cheung Wan (長環) 22 28 30 N, 113 18 00 E
Sheung Mo Heung (尚武鄉) Pak Miu (白廟) 22 32 00 N, 113 23 00 E
Sheung Mo Heung (尚武鄉) Sheung Hong (上巷) 22 32 00 N, 113 23 00 E
Sheung Mo Heung (尚武鄉) Sun Chuen (新村) 22 32 00 N, 113 23 00 E
Tai Tung Heung (大同鄉) Ho Chung (濠涌) 22 31 30 N, 113 17 00 E
Tai Tung Heung (大同鄉) Ho To (豪吐) 22 31 30 N, 113 17 00 E
Tai Tung Heung (大同鄉) Sun Lo (新路) 22 31 30 N, 113 17 00 E
Tai Tung Heung (大同鄉) Tai Pong Tau (大龐頭) 22 31 30 N, 113 17 00 E

The database doesn't offer any other villages from outside Chungshan, so of course the village might not be listed here. Anything outside the Siyi region is a grey area for me.



惠阳(Hui Yang District/ Wai Joeng), 惠州 (Hui Zhou City/ Wai Zau)

Another side note, but I just want to check- where did you get the village name 高家村? The literal translation is "Gou/Ko family village" and so that might be just a title, as opposed to an actual village name.
