My wife was born in the year approx. 1953. She lost touch with her family. The father died in the mid 1950's and the family moved to Hong Kong and had a bakery in the Sham Shu Po area. We are tracing our family history and would like to find out more about her biological family ( Fung ). We are not trying to contact the contemporary family. The basic information we have is as follows: the village is called Zaobei, Qianshan, Xiangzhou district, Zuhai city, formerly in Zhongshan, near the macao border. Her original name as pronounced in the Cantonese language is Fung Shui-kau. The name of the village in Cantonese is Cho Pui. It has been impossible to find someone to do research. Any suggestions? Thank you.

I just found this forum and your message, which is almost a year old! Do you know if your wife's Fungs are descended from the Taiping leaders?
Regards,
Roy Fung

Roy,
Thanks for your message. No we don't know if any connection since we don't know the name of her family members. She was very young ( 3 or 4 ) when adopted out. Do you know of the Zaobei community?
Sincerely
Kevin

Hi Kevin, sorry I had forgotten that I wrote that message in this forum. I have never been to China at all. So I don't know Zaobei. Are you in China? I am in Florida, USA. What I know of my ancestry has been handed down through the generations. My only suggestion is to get a photo of any grave markers of her family in Zaobei as these might give a clue as to her ancestry.

So far we have not made any progress in locating the history of Fung Family from Zaobei ( Cho Pui ) but if anyone knows anything about this village it would be nice to know what you can tell us. When I do a search in the internet I only find one reference, an address of a company and then other references have nothing to do with the village. Thank you.
