Fuk Lam Village (福林) in Toisan, Guangdong

[amandawb]

Hello! Does anyone know the heung for 福林 village (I think it's pronounced Fuk Lam) in Toisan, Guangdong? I'm helping my friend research her grandfather's village and immigration history while I work on my own family's genealogy. My friend's grandfather's surname was 劉 (sometimes translated as Leu, Lew, or Lui), but it's possible that he was a paper son. His gravesite cites this village name, but doesn't mention the heung, and I think there are at least two villages in Toisan of the same name. We'll be traveling to Toisan in the fall and need to narrow this down to the correct village/heung for our visit.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and suggestions!

amandawb,

Just copy and paste this (中国廣東省江門市台山福林) into Google Maps and you will find Fulin (福林).

Although village database shows two 福林 villages located in the same Area 2 of Taishan, but maps do show only 1 福林 village (very small village) just east of Daijiang and by the S49 highway Daijiang exit. When you get there, surely people can tell you the difference.
