A family member (surname 伍 Wu/Ng) wrote down the ancestral village of my wife. We speak no Chinese but I studied a little Japanese that helps a little with Chinese character recognition.
Found in Guangdong, Taishan, near Chonglou (冲蒌), they wrote 官竇 旧村 中和堂 which I believe means Kun Tau (官竇) former village (旧村) Chung Wo Tong (中和堂).
I can find Kun Tau Cun (官竇村) on the map, so I'm assuming this is the same Kun Tau. However, it's not clear if 旧村 in this context means "the village which was previously called" or "the village where we previously lived".
Can somebody help with context, especially if this relates to a village no longer existing?
Also trying to locate Chung Wo Tong (中和堂) if it still exists. Found a geolocation of 22.07419, 112.7999, but this places it several miles to the southwest not so near Kun Tau. Want to confirm if the location is correct.
