Hi There
I am looking for the village Yin Tze Kok, I couldn’t find it on a map and any information re Zupu
my grandfather Gin Ah Hab was from. He arrived in Australia in around the 1850’s and changed his name to Gin Meng Kim.
My fathers generation name was Loon, and I am trying to find previous generation names.
Many thanks for you help

... village Yin Tze Kok... You are pretty lucky to get these hints. I would recommend you get the Chinese characters and not depend on localized phonetic spelling. You will also need the characters of the given name of your ancestors. Without the characters, you will be flailing and never be precise enough to match information with your ancestry. I hope you have more information than what you shared. |

Looks like the village name came from the village database as tyuti1668 had pointed out. 燕子覺 / Yin Tze Kok (甄 / Gin).
Yes, it is curious if there are documentation to back this up.
