onebir Posted May 6, 2016 at 04:34 PM Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 at 04:34 PM Is this it: http://www.yigecun.com/cityfild/showcun.aspx?id=DF9B6586047CC5E7 If 全村姓连 it doesn't sound like you still have relatives there, but older people might remember your family. & I think there are some famous temples in the area. Maybe they have records. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

889 Posted May 7, 2016 at 12:55 PM Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 at 12:55 PM Throughout SE Asia, Chinese immigrants from particular regions often banded together to form clan associations. A number of these still exist, and you might search for one fitting your ancestors' origin that could help you. (Family research, no matter the country, can be a decades-long adventure, especially if you can't deal with the language; expect to devote years off and on to this.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
