Puhou Yap Progenitor : 葉擇南 Yap Tek Lam
Hello All,
My name is Riko Yap 葉谋金, I was born and raised in the San Francisco bay area in northern California, and both of my parents were born and raised in the Philippines. My mother is Filipina and my father grew up knowing he is only Filipino not knowing anything about his Chinese ancestry because no one knew much about his great grandfather Piangco Yap who was the full Chinese ancestor that migrated to the Philippines (Zambales Province) back in the later 1800's early 1900's. I was able to find my Chinese ancestral roots with the help of MyChinaRoots service. You can view the full report of their findings regarding my Yap ancestral history in the link provided: www.mychinaroots.com/report/rikoyap/puhou .
They located my Yap clan zupu and found my great-great grandfather's name 祖偏 Cho Pian belonging to the 12th Gen and I belong to the 16th Gen of the Puhou Yap clan.
In the link provided under the Zupu section, you will see that the Yap clan officers in the village mentioned that the Puhou Yap clan progenitor migrated from Tong'An and he is the direct link connecting Puhou Yap Clan with Tong'An Yap Clan, but they forgot his name and the name recorded in the zupu was just a made up name given by his descendants.
I have a great sense of fulfillment now that my Chinese ancestry has been found. My next project will be to go back farther and connect the Puhou Yap Clan progenitor 葉擇南 Yap Tek Lam with the Tong'an Clan and find that Tong'an connection back to Huangdi. Dr. Philip Tan has done an amazing job and has been extremely helpful with me on creating my Puhou Yap Clan chart. Once I am able to find the connection to Huangdi he will help me expand my chart to have a complete scroll to print out.
I hope this information will help any other Yap's looking for their lineage and I ask if there is anyone here that may be able to help with any resources or connections to the Tong'An Yap Clan to help me connect the Puhou Yap Clan zupu with theirs.

Riko Yap
