Can someone here explain to me how is the process to reach the office of ancestral town in Taishan and ask for a family zupu jiapu? I’m so so confused.

Hi:
It is best if you are able to make contact with a relative who is already there. If you are able to do that, ask the relative if a genealogy book exists and, if so, if you might get access to it. If you are unable to make contact with a relative, you will need someone to go there--either yourself or a representative--to make an inquiry. Perhaps someone here on the forum can help you with finding someone to go to the village for you. You could also hire someone from the company My China Roots to do research for you, but it is expensive.
You might get lucky and discover that your family genealogy book is online. Have you checked the collection of genealogies on the Family Search website (https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/China_Collection_of_Genealogies_-_FamilySearch_Historical_Records)? There may also be information about your family on other websites, including websites in China, where many people are again trying to learn more about their ancestors.
It is possible, too, that a forum member may have a copy of your genealogy or information about your ancestry. If you feel comfortable doing so, give us more details.
