need help finding 俞 family generation poem

[cyrusyu]

My family name is 俞 and our ancestral village is 鄞縣.  This is all the information I have currently. Please let me know if there are any additional information I can provide that may help with this. Thank you very much!

My grandfather was born in, or grew up in 宁波, and moved to Shanghai, and eventually to Hong Kong later on. That is about as much as I have to go with currently.

The important information for ancestral research is the name of your ancestors and the adult/married name of your ancestors. Based on the information you provided, I did a google search for your grandfather's ancestral village.

For 鄞縣 - 鄞縣是中國浙江省寧波市歷史上的一個縣 (Yinxian, or Yin County, is a historical county in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, China). zh.wikipedia.org/zh-tw/%E9%84%9E%E5%8E%BF This web page is in Chinese only but you should be able to translate the page using Google or Bing translator.

For 宁波 - 宁波 is Ningbo City, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ningbo.

So, I think your ancestral village is somewhere in Yin County. To find your 俞(Yu) surname generation poem you may need to know the exact name of your ancestral village as different village may have different generation poem.

I saw someone else with surname of 俞(Yu) in his site asked for his village's generation poem which Dr. Philip Tan helped him to locate the thread is siyigenealogy.proboards.com/thread/2263/generation-poem-family
