Queries and Surnames

IMPORTANT! - Please read ALL instructions and the example.

INSTRUCTIONS:

An automated international query and last name system is in use. Please follow all directions.

1. Write ALL family names in CAPITALS.
2. Let researchers know : WHO you are searching for, WHICH province, or nearest Chinese city, and WHEN they were in China.
3. Many researchers do not know the names of the towns, past or present; so, list the places as "Village, nearest City, Province, etc."
4. Remember, your question or family name must indicate a connection to China.
