angust63,
The Village Database has been accurate for about 75 % of the village searches I have done & I have done well over 1,000 searches over the past 18 years.

eddiesy A clan generational poem is not universal, it varies according to location - to be precise you would need a copy of your village genealogy book that contains the generational poem. Here are some slides on my generational poem from my workshop presentation in Las Vegas: Henry

rowan, Since your grandmother emigrated to the Netherlands, there are probably some official immigration records that may contain his personal information such as the name of the place where he was born, etc. Some of the records may include Chinese characters that he may have written. The Mormon Church is the largest organization that provides genealogical information & help for free. They have over 5,700 locations internationally, I believe there are 5 locations in the Netherlands, just put your cursor over the location & the contact information will appear: www.familysearch.org/centers/locations/The Family Search Library has the most extensive collection of Chinese genealogies that can be searched electronically. Here are some links about research websites: www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/The_Netherlands_Genealogywww.familysearch.org/en/wiki/The_Netherlands_Online_Genealogy_Recordswww.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Netherlands_WebsitesMy China Roots is the premier Chinese genealogy research company: www.mychinaroots.com/The owner is Huihan Lie, he is Chinese and he grew up in the Netherlands - he may be able to provide you with assistance> Huihan's direct email is: huihanlie@mychinaroots.com Henry

c896,
Please post a clear photo of your maternal grandfather's gravestone that has Chinese characters - if it does, it will probably have the name of the village in Nanhai.
