Looking for map of Chin Wo Tin

[mamawong50]

Hi my husband has been searching for a map of his father's (my Lo Yeh) village. He is a Lee.

This is what I found in the Village DB for him. Unfortunately, the Chinese characters don't appear correctly in this message.

Hi Rita & Jennings,

Looks like the Chin Wo Tin & Chin Kai subheungs became the Chin Kai village. I have a map that shows this village, however, the Chin character dropped the left radical - this might be a simplified character - one of our other members who is Chinese literate can correct me.

The official simplified character is ç¼ . The China Post DB is the "default" reference for correct address writing.
My suggestion is don't 100% believe the Mapbar.com (one of their staff maybe Dyslexia). Remember the 银河/艮河 incedent?

Tyuti1668,

Thanks - I will be wary of the Mapbar.com Chinese characters for place names. According to the Village DB grid coordinates for their maps - which are posted on my website:

mysite.verizon.net/vzepzaui/maps4.html

I think the location that I indicated in the above map is probably correct:

Here is a bi-lingual map of the southern region of Guangdong province:

If Rita & Jennings want it field checked - I can have my Taishan nephew visit the village . He can also identify relatives and try to find a copy of the family genealogy book and also serve as a guide translator if they decide to visit their ancestral village.
