Thanks Henry. Wishing you and everyone else the Best for 2012. Happy New Year. The people who post have a great wealth of knowledge, and I'm sure the people who read the posts but don't comment, are appreciative of all the knowledge freely given.

Dear all, I'm sure everyone is having and will have a great year ahead. As a new member I'm amazed at the level of discussion shared here. In my quest to knowing the origin of my roots I hope to have some guidance here.
Firstly I'm the 3rd generation Chinese in Malaysia.after my gampa's departure the urgency of knowing my roots is almost impossible. My surname is Long and in Chinese character represents Dragon. Our generational middle name is Sze while in English we spelled it Su.
Can anyone tell me how did the surname Long came about, from
Which dynasty and other details would be highly regarded

Hi Alwin - Welcome to this board. Please re- post your request in another thread, as some people may miss this post from you. Try posting in the first category - use your surname and country in the heading.If you have any Chinese characters/ headstone photos/ old envelopes please add. Also what dialect was spoken, and clan groups your Grandpa may have belonged to. How long he was in Malaysia, the era he lived, the reason he was there? Any information you have for us is very useful

Happy New Year 2014. The time has passed very quickly in 2013. Congratulations for another eventful year amongst all fellow message boarders. Your help and assistance has meant that we are very much wiser in our own family history - than we were 12 months ago.
I hope as fellow historians we can reach more people in 2014, and help others along the way.
In January I am part of an organising committee, organising a Chan village reunion - for the Chans who originate from the Hargee village in Zengcheng. We hope to have as many of the elders as we can get there - to share previous generations stories.
陳 下基
Best Wishes to you and yours
