I am trying to find out where my late grandmother's home in Shantou is. Her surname is 姚。 I only know she came from a place called Chaoyang and her home is near a well. Very vague info but wondering if anyone might have a clue.

wendy 93, This is the location of the Yao / 姚 Clan ancestral hall in the Chaoyang district of Shantou:  Yaoshi Shizu and Xianxian Memorial Hall 276 Zhonghua Rd, Chaoyang Qu, Shantou Shi, Guangdong Sheng, China 广东省汕头市潮阳区中华路276号 To find the ancestral village of your grandmother, which is probably near this ancestral hall, you will need the Chinese characters for the name of the father of your grandmother. Traditional Chinese genealogy books only list the names of males, and women are not identified by their names - only by their clan. Henry |
