Hi Dan,
The 200 Szeto Villages book was published in 2010. There are approximately 153 pages. Most of the villages are in Hoiping, with a further majority in Chak Ham Town. Sai Hing Lay is found in the upstream Hin Kong Town. There are also a handful of villages in Toishan, Chungshan, and Yeungkong.
Glad I could help.

Hi Fay Chee,
Long time no talk - I will take you up on the offer, as I realized that the few print-out pages I got from the Chikan Situ Library are lacking information on my great-grandmother's extended family. I'll email you directly about Volume 3. Thank you for offering.
Best, Jason

Hi Dantheman,
While looking through the 2016 Situ Zupu, in Volume 5 - Chikan, I came across 5 pages labeled Weinan, XiXingli. They are family trees. I can take a picture of the pages and you can show them to your relative and see if they are her family. If one of these family trees does belong to your relative, let me know and I will scan that page at high resolution for printing.
It is possible that the New 2021 Situ book has more information of the Village, but I can not read or write Chinese.

Hi FayChee, The home town of my ye sau (二嫂) is 开平蚬岗乡西兴里 which translated in Mandarin as Kaiping county, Xiangang township, Xixingli village. I don't think Weinan, XiXingli is my ye sau's village as Google search shows that Weinan (渭南) is a prefecture-level city in the east central Shaanxi province.
I am amazed that you know so much about the Seto clan without knowing Chinese.

Hi both, It seems that there's a small miscommunication in the Pinyin - I think Fay Chee means to say she found 5 pages labeled with Xiannan Xixingli, located in the south ( nan) of Xiangang Town. This is based on an entry in a postal code database: 廣東省 江門市 開平市 蜆岡鎮 蜆南管區 西興村 link here.
Yes, Fay Chee has very impressive skimming skills for being non-literate in Chinese. She's helped me countless times for the Soo Hoo side of my lineage as well.
Best, Jason

Hi Fay Chee, Just found out name of my ye sau's grandfather is 居文. Those two names with same generation (文) on page 5 of the Seto family tree are his next door neighbors. Do you have family tree for 居文? Happy Lunar New Year.

I want to know if all Szetos from Kaiping are related from the same ancestor? There are 45,000 Situ/Szetos in the mainland and 90% of it is from the Kaiping region. My maternal grandmother is a Szeto. There also Szetos/Situs in Ningbo, Zhejiang and my suspicion is that this area was another migration spot for the family clan before entering Guangdong. The number of Szetos is very low but it's one of the most common double character surname. My actual paternal surname is Wong/Wang from Zhongshan, Guangdong with original origin from Taiyuan, Shanxi. 90% of Wangs in China are from the Taiyuan line and Wang is the number 1 or 2 populous surname throughout the mainland and most certainly we all are not related. So basically all the people here in this forum post with family connections with Kaiping Szeto are related at least more so than my Wong surname! Excuse me, I see you submitted a family history pie from a DNA test you have done, your history of having PERU, ITALY, SCOTTISH, CHEROKEE OR MIXED NATIVE AMERICA BLOODyours matches most of my mother's DNA TREE--My mother is very short and very small she was born in WV, we never knew she 3 type Chinese has eastern Asian India blood too. I want to share information and possibly see if your DNA matches my mother's. She did hers on ANcestry.com

Hello Everyone,
I do have a uncle in SF who owned a shop in Chinatown named Tam Kwong Sang. There is documentary on him on the Chinese internet. I recently genetically matched to his daughter, we are considered third cousins. Her father's mother is a Szeto and well as his first wife. My grandmother is a Szeto and my great-grandmother shared the same surname Tam/Tom from Chikan, Hoiping. I believe the village Xinlian is just across my great-grandmother's village of Chang'an She. I want to find my great-grandmother's zupu and thus finding who my great-grandfather was (he died during WWII bombings). Is there any Tams out there of Chang'an She village in this group?
--Adam

warriorflowerI am a Chinese Peruvian with a mestiza Peruvian paternal grandmother. Remember, that during the Spanish colonization of the Americas many of Spaniards came from the same village and they were actually cousins of each other. I'm also related to many Mexicans and Bolivians due to this fact. Actually, I am also related to many Eurasian Macaunese (mixed race Chinese Portuguese) because the Spanish regions of Extremadura and Andalusia is genetically close to Portugal. Not also including the fact, that most people from Macau hails from Zhongshan region of Guangdong where my paternal grandfather is from.

Hi all,
Seeing that there's been much interest in recent years about the contents of the Situ Genealogy (5th Edition, 2016-2018), FayChee and I have digitized the tables of contents for the 6 volumes which she has in her possession. The following tables are presented in Traditional Chinese; you can use the Find command on your internet browser (Control+F) to input the Chinese characters of your village(s) of interest in order to search for its appearance(s) in the tables of contents below. Keep in mind:
- Village names in the tables of contents may present different from your records due to changing names, replacement/homophonous words, etc.
- Village names may be missing in the tables of contents but are mentioned within the pages themselves.
- Multiple families of different lineages might inhabit one village; these volumes are organized by seniority so the village you are interested in might appear multiple times.

Hello Family, I am posting these photos for a new member, Roy Seto, who is looking for his Ancestral Village. We are hoping that the Chinese characters will reveal a Village name, but he could only get a partial picture of one tombstone. His neighbor thought that "Dragon Mouth Lane" was the village on his Grandmother's tombstone, does anyone know the current name? Any help on translating the tombstones are welcomed! Hi FayChee, I am rereading the posts about Roy's ancestral village. Looking at the images of the grave monuments of his grandfather Seto Mon Kee (司徒文基 / Situ Wenji) and grandmother Seto Fong Shee (formally addressed in the Chinese inscriptions as 先司徒門方氏太若 / Seto Moon Fong Shee Tai Yeuk / Situ Men Fang Shi Tairuo), I notice something interesting: Even though his grandfather was from 開平旋龍里 (Xuanlongli, Kaiping) and his grandmother's maiden name was 方 (Fong / Fang), the gravestone indicates that his grandmother was from 廣東開平赤墈龍口里 (Longkouli, Chikan, Kaiping, Guangdong), a village with the surname Seto according to Village DB. I wonder if this is because his grandparents were married in Longkouli, perhaps at The Old Catholic Church (旧天主教堂 / 舊天主教堂 / Kau Tin Chu Kau Tong / Jiu Tianzhu Jiaotang) (see Page 44 of the 200 Szeto Villages book shows a photograph of the church). Or perhaps, Roy's grandfather's family originally came from Longkouli and later migrated to Xuanlongli. LJeung

Hi fellow Soo Hoo, Seto, Szeto, Situ from Hoiping (Kaiping) genealogists,
I should also mention that I recently discovered (or rediscovered) that my Great-Aunt Fong née Soo Hoo was born in Suen Lung Le, Hoiping, Kwangtung. In other words, she was also born in 廣東開平旋龙里 (Xuanlongli, Kaiping, Guangdong).
