The Ng Families of Toishan and Their Founding Ancestors
Most of the transliterations below are in Cantonese only. Some of the information about Ng Mung comes from Genealogy of the Nine Lineages of the Ng Clan ¡¶ÎéÊϾÅ×å¼Ò×V¡·, written in 1840 by Ng Mun Juk ÎéÃñ„t.
Today, most members of the Ng clan live in China's Gwong Doong (Guangdong) Province V–|Ê¡. Because of extensive immigration by the Cantonese people, however, many clan members also live outside China, in places such as the United States.
The Ng clan is divided into several major houses or fong ·¿, each with its own founding ancestor. Two of those houses, the Look Wai ¾G‡ú, also known as the Chueh Gwok Öù‡ø, and the Hon Yuen º²Ô·, originated in what is now Hoi Foong (Kaifeng), Hoh Nahm (Henan) Province ºÓÄÏé_·â and eventually settled in Dau Doong[Au Ung,Tautung], northern Toishan County, Guangdong ̨ɽ¿h¶·¶´àl(around and south of Gungyik [Gongyi, Kung-i-fou, Goong Yik] ¹« Òæ).
