Hi everyone. I just found this website because I want to find proof that I am related to Su Dongpo. I'm Robert kinglui So and my uncle, Albert So, and my dad Andrew So told me that we're related to Su Dongpo but have no proof. Is there anyone who can help me out please to find evidence that I'm related to Su Dongpo somehow? I'm born in San Francisco, California, USA on January 1, 1979 and no nothing about my relation to Su Dongpo. I only read English and speak basic Cantonese. My uncle and dad are both born in Hong Kong, I think my dad's chinese name is So To(sau?) and I'm not positively sure if that's his Chinese name. I'm trying to find evidence that my family is related to Su Dongpo. Please help. Thanks.
I guess we're all relatives of some sort.
Thanks,
robertkso@gmail.com
Update:
I just found out that my family resided in Guandong but that's about it. Also my grand father's name in Chinese is: 蘇心穀 (a grain in the heart)
Please help. Thank you.

Hi Robert:
For many years I have been trying to find out more about the So/Su ancestors of my maternal grandmother but have been unsuccessful.
There are Cantonese members of the So/Su clan who claim a relationship to the famous poet Su Dongpo. For example, there is the young sprinter Su Bingtian 蘇炳添, whom some refer to as "Asia's fastest man." He is from Guyi Village, Zhongshan City, Guangdong 廣東中山市古一村, and is a 29th generation descendant of Su Dongpo. He was the flag carrier for China in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, in which he placed 6th in the 100m final.
What you need to do is to find a genealogy that lists your ancestors. Once you have that, you might be able to find a connection to Su Dongpo. The first step, though, is to find the exact location of your ancestral village in China, because that is likely the place where any genealogy listing your ancestors might exist. You could also get lucky and discover that someone closer to home has a copy of the genealogy that you need or that a copy of it happens to be online. Talk to your relatives and see what they can tell you.
I'm sure that all So/Su clan members would be anxious to find a family connection to the great poet. Good luck!
Greg

Thank you Greg. I will keep searching online because my grand father's brother's daughter proved it by searching online on our family's genealogy according to my dad and uncle. I want to verify and acknowledge what she found was true. If she was able to find my family's genealogy online, so should I.
