Hi Lisa,
Today, I went gravesweeping with my mom's side of the family at Toronto York Cemetery. I was reminded of your situation when I saw on my cousin's godmother's brother-in-law Chiu Wing Ho's headstone that he was also from 浮石九坊 9th Division of Fow Shek; his headstone is just 2 to the left of my grandfather's. Then, when I got home, I saw that Liang Ruiyang (aka 台山百曉 Taishan Baixiao on YouTube) posted his video that you asked him to film of the village.
I looked at the 2004 Fow Shek Genealogy and was surprised to see that my relative Chiu Wing Ho shared a great-grandfather with your grandfather Chew Tong Tai - what a small world! Tong Tai's grandfather 官佑 Guan You was the eldest son and Wing Ho's grandfather was the 6th and youngest son.
The ancestral hall in Ruiyang's video is dedicated to Ancestor 林居 Linju, who is supposedly the shared ancestor of all of 9th Division.
Pre-Guangdong Lineage Biographies (9 generations from the son of Song Emperor Taizong): 1901 Edition, Principle Volume, Page 8 onwards ( link here) Guangdong Lineage Biographies (3 generations from the 11th gen. after Taizong): 1901 Edition, Principle Volume, Page 11 onwards ( link here) Fow Shek Lineages (from the 14th gen. after Taizong): 1901 Edition, Volume 1 onwards ( link here) Lineages from Ancestor Linju (from 7th gen. of Fow Shek): 1901 Edition, Volume 4 onwards ( link here)
Your grandfather Tong Tai is the 21st gen. of Fow Shek: 1901 Edition, Volume 4, Page 31 (or Lineage #119 in the 2004 Edition).

My grandmother's father was Chui Bing Nang. born in late before 1900 in Fow Shek. How do I look for him on the Zupu that you reference on Familysearch.org?

What are the Chinese characters for his full name and I will try and search the Document. Lisa

Where in Taicheng should I go to see Zupus? I will be there in March with my cousin. He has Chungs and Meis and we have Lees in Guantain that we are searching for information. So appreciative of any suggestions.

Though we don't speak or read Chinese, so that will add an extra challenge.

Hi Tina
I don’t speak or read either. Any chance you can provide the actual digital characters. I can’t copy the handwriting to search. Maybe others in this forum can help.

Where are you located? Are you on Facebook? There’s a great group called Taishan Hoisan that you should join. All of the members are amazing and super helpful.

I live in Georgia, USA. My cousin lives in New York. I have joined the FB group you suggested and posted a query. Thank you for the advice. My mother, aunts and brother visited Guantian in 1979. They are not sure where it is, but we think it is the village on the map North of Tiashan. I have photos and names of the cousins there. Then my cousin had Chungs family from Chaoyngli and Mei from Duansen. We have no contacts there, so I am reaching out. This will be my first trip to PRC! It's very exciting.

So appreciative of any suggestions. Could someone please help with the Chinese characters for this picture? I can’t convert it in Anything I try. It’s tough to read (for me anyways). Once I have the Chinese characters I can try and search the Zhao zupu for his name.
