I hosted a family reunion a few weeks ago. Our relatives from New Orleans stopped in Hawaii to attend the reunion on their way back to visit our ancestral village. All of the descendants who were present: drafted, wrote, and signed a letter to the Chinese government, saying that we would like to take back our land and property that we were left by our ancestor (my great-grandfather) and would like to give stewardship to our relatives (family from New Orleans). The family from New Orleans' mother/grandmother still lives in our village and is in her late 90's. That family is our closest relatives that still visits/lives in the village. Other families that are not related to us have been trying to commandeer our land and property.

I was close to giving up until I received this email from someone who I really respect. Hi Trevor, The 2nd time Mr. Luo went to Gu He, there was a Hong Clan member who came to the village office and gave a jiapu to him. Mr. Hong said he received the jiapu from a long-distance relative who came back to Gu He to visit and gave a copy jiapu to him. The jiapu are actually a bunch of loose papers. So, Mr. Luo took the time to compile it. Hong Quon was the 16th generation. I have highlighted Hong Quon's and his lineage for you except for the 6th generation because there is a missing page. Luckily, there is only one person in the 5th generation, so you can continue the lineage after that. Hong Quon's grandfather was adopted from the Ching Clan. Regards, Louise
