Help with Ancestral locations

[angust63]

My wife's family comes from several regions in Canton/Guangdong.

Her Paternal Great-Grandparents were from (According to Canadian Government records in 1920s):
GGF #1 - Daw Moon, Hong San, China (I believe that this may be Heung-san or Zhongshan, China). Family Name is Chew.
GGM #1 - Lung Doo, Tep Sack, Hong San, China. Family Name is Yee.

GGF #2 - I presume Shung Ling Chung, Sun Woy, China. Family Name is Tom.
GGM #2 - Unknown. I presume somewhere in Sun Woy. Family name is Law or Su.

Her Paternal Grandfather - Shung Ling Chung, Sun Woy, China (I found something that suggested this might be modern day Shuangshuizhen 双水镇 Xinhui District, Jiangmen but I am not sure).
Her Paternal Grandmother - born in Victoria, BC

Her Maternal Great-Grandparents (According to Canadian Government records in 1920s):
GGF #1 - Wang Sui, Hoy San, China. Family Name is Wong
GGM #1 - Nam Long, Hoy San, China. Family Name is Ma or Mar.

GGF #2 - Sun Wai, Sun Woy, China. Family Name is Chu.
GGM #2 - Jok Wan, Sun woy, China. Family Name is Go.

Her Maternal Grandfather was born in Vancouver, BC.
Her Maternal Grandmother was born in Wang Sui, Hoy San, China

I don't have any documents written in Chinese showing where they were from. It would be great to get Modern or at least more accurate names and to be able to pin these locations on a map.

Try searching the Village Database: villagedb.friendsofroots.org/search.cgi

Heung-san /Zhongshan/Lung Doo = Chungshan

Sun Woy = Sunwei

Hoy San = Toisan

Thanks Henry. I did a couple of searches there related to the family names but I was not confident with the results. Is the database fairly accurate?

angust63,

The Village Database has been accurate for about 75 % of the village searches I have done & I have done well over 1,000 searches over the past 18 years.
