Lee Clan - Lee Dong branch

[Woodson]

I'm posting the tree of Lee Dong's (李棟) branch of the Lee Clan in Siyi in hope that members of the other branches will share with us. Actually, it is a link to the family tree in my site. Sorry to impose an extra mouse click.

Hi Lim,

I think what you are interested is the totem, túténg (圖騰), for the Surname Lee/Lǐ (李). If that is so, find below two forms of the totem. Someone in the Forum may be interested to translate the description provided with the second image.

I was doing the pedigree chart for the serviceman for my house automatic gate. His ancestry is from Taoyuan(Yongchun) County Taiping Li Zupu (桃源(永春)太平李氏族譜). I was using the set of zupu that I already have but published in 1999. He told me there was a newer set updated a few years ago. I asked him to get me the newer set as well. He delivered the set to me today. This set, published in 2008, consists of 17 volumes and come in a nice wooden box. See pictures below. Much as I insisted, he refused to accept payment from me.

Question. Does anyone have Bruce Lee's lineage in their 李氏族谱?

This is the revised maternal Lee/Li ancestral chart which I have been designing and constructing for Cyprian Lim of Singapore. This is modified from an earlier chart to extend the ancestry to Li Huode (李火德). Cyprian Lim gave me permission to share his charts.

Li Huode (1206-1292) was born in Shíbì Village (石壁村), Ninghua County (宁化县) , Sanming City (三明市), Fujian (福建) Province. Because of his meritorious service in conquering bandits, he was promoted to the post of Jiedu envoy of Henan Province and was granted the title of Marquis of Guannei (关内侯) by Jin Dynasty (晉朝). At the end of the Song Dynasty (宋朝), he and his brother Mu De (木德) moved to Kaiji (开基), Fenglang Village (丰朗村), Shanghang County (上杭县), Fujian Province, where they had three sons and two daughters. The descendants multiply and prosper, and the descendants come forth in large numbers. Its descendants have spread all over Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Hunan, Jiangsu, Sichuan, Guangxi, Guizhou, Macao, Taiwan, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and other Southeast Asian countries, as well as the United States, Japan, Britain, France, Germany, etc., Li Huode has many descendants and has a great influence. Li Huode is also honored as "the ancestor of Li's entry into Fujian" [李氏入闽始祖].

We are currently preparing Charts 3, 2, and 1 which would extend Cyprian Lim's maternal Lee/Li ancestry all the way to Huang Di (2,697 BC).
