Hello,
I've just recently joined the forum and though this isn't necessarily about locating the village... I did want to know if anyone here could help me to learn more about this village.
It's located at the coordinates: 22°03'35.2"N 112°45'06.3"E
A distant family member of mine did hard work and got in contact with someone who had been to the village, and he said that most of the people there still used the Moy surname.
For a brief summary of my Chinese family history that I know of, we came from one man in China named Wing Ting Moy, and all the way down the line you come across Gong Moy. He immigrated to America and settled in Washington D.C. In addition to more information about the village i'm also curious if there were any resources I could use other than ancestry.com to trace the history of Wing Ting.
Hope this wasn't too complicated?
Have a great day, thank you.
