Hello, Recently was give the following information about Fung Clan Associations in Hong Kong. These are for Zhongshan / Chung Shan District. The Family History Center in Hong Kong was kind enough to give me this information.
One of these is the Hong Kong Fung Clan Association which has been in existence since since 1956 in West point area but now they have moved to Causeway Bay.852. 2577-3784 . Their address is 64A, Leigton Road,Causeway Bay Hong Kong. I'm not sure of the names below but the above number does connect with the Association.
When I preview the message the Chinese Characters do not show.

Go to "View" on your browser select" Character encoding" select "Chinese Simplified"
you should be able to see the Chinese characters

Hello,
In your post you mentioned a Family History Centre in Hong Kong. I am looking for any existence of my own Clan Association- Chan, so I am wondering if you had an e-mail, phone number or webpage for the Family History Centre that gave you your information?

I always recommend you start a new thread rather than append your information to another topic. Your own topic and questions tend to get lost amongst the back and forth of original posters and their responders. You posted on an 12 year old topic and whereas hopefully the original poster is monitoring the topic, expect family historian's interest to wax and wane. The Family History Center is probably an LDS (Mormon) institution. You should find one in your Canadian region. They are an extensive resource and their interconnection is admirable. [quote source="/post/20172/thread" timestamp="153057940 I am not sure if this is the correct thread to post this enquiry. I am new to this page, ... Even though you have given some details, from my experience, there is always more information than most posters initially write. So, using common genealogy phraseology, start with what you know best: your own family. Interview and write down your family tree. Include as much details as possible in your own personal trees. Don’t depend on your memory, WRITE down the stories and draw out your tree. If you want to trace your family back to China, then you must use Chinese characters, not English phonetic spelling. There is no Cantonese official romanization. Hong Kong and Taiwan comes as close as possible using Yale or Jyutping. Just make it easy on yourself and use both traditional and simplified Chinese characters. Hong Kong documents and gravestones will include Chinese characters. You will need the multiple given Chinese names of your father and grandfather. Since your father is deceased, interview his siblings. This technique is called parallel genealogy. Trace the uncles' genealogy (Chinese classical genealogy is patrilineal) . Concentrate on the ancestral villages. Your goal is archeological: hunt for Chinese characters on photos, documents, letters to confirm with your elders. Finally, look at houseofchinn.com/index.html . His book You are Royalty is arguably the best beginning-intermediate genealogy resource. IMHO

Hi Doug,
Thanks for the response. I will keep your advice in mind for future postings. Unfortunately, all my uncles and aunts on my Father’s side passed away before he did. He was the youngest. I do however have his name in Chinese characters as well as the gravestones of my paternal grandparents. So I will start from there working backwards. Thank you!

The gravestones should give the name of the paternal ancestral village. Feel free to post images and the Chinese literate (not me) will help. There are many map literate people who can help find the village.
If your cousins are living in Hong Kong, they may have maintained a jiapu 家譜 or even have a copy of the village zupu 族谱. I have heard mainland Chinese say that genealogy is discussed every day so there is no need to 'study' it. Tap into those resources.
Cousins in North America may have maintained a jiapu or family tree, especially during a project in their public schooling. Don't hesitate to look for photo and artifacts in your cousin's possession for Chinese given names.
Once you have your repository of information, let the Forum know how we can help.
