Happy 2021 Everyone! I’m inspired to start the new year with my genealogy journey and hope this thread is still relevant.
I’m from the 伍 Ng clan of Taishan Look Wai 綠圍house. chinesesurname and gckimm , I found your site freepages.rootsweb.com/~chinesesurname/family/sueysun.html documenting our clan’s history very informative. We’re probably related
Before my dad passed away he gave me his copy of the General Genealogy of the Ng Clan of Ling Nahm《嶺南伍氏闔族總譜》and his written notes documenting many generations of male ancestors. I also have many of his original writings in Chinese, calligraphy etc.
At chinesesurname ’s suggestion I entered my male line into familysearch.org and I was excited to get a match going all the way back to 伍子胥, the founding father of the Ng clan.
At this point, I have 3 asks of this board:
1. How do I share my tree in familysearch.org with my family for online collaboration? Even if I only wanted to share a pdf, the print option only allows up to 7 generations to be viewable. Is there a way to export my tree and then import into into another software for collaboration? What’s the best software for that?
2. Does anyone know if the jupu I mentioned above is online?
3. Is there a software/program/app that can transcribe chinese handwriting into text?
4. Can anyone suggest a genealogy blogging platform for easy sharing of stories while allowing family members to comment and contribute content? Blogger and Wordpress seem to be most popular. Most of us have minimal programming skills.
Thanks for any help in advance!
Happy 2021, NgLiuYin!
Doug 周 seems to have addressed all of your questions, but regarding your third question, I think the zupu, the General Genealogy of the Ng Clan of Ling Nahm《嶺南伍氏闔族總譜》, is indeed online, specifically in Images 247 to 173 of 伍氏合族總譜[10卷, 首2卷] 15冊 10-15冊(卷6-10), 1933 {Combined General Genealogy of the Wu Clan [10 Volumes, First 2 Volumes] 15 Books 10-15 Books (Volumes 6-10), 1933}. The title and subtitle on the cover of this volume are respectively 嶺南伍氏闔族總譜 (Whole General Genealogy of the Wu Clan of Lingnan) and 朱汝珍題 (Inscribed by Zhu Ruzhen).
