The two "huang's" are different Chinese characters and have complete different meanings. The huang in Huang Di is the colour yellow. After the unification of China, the Chin ruler decided a new title is necessary, so the title "huang di" was coined to imply his accomplishment is greater than those of the 8 ancient mystical rulers, the 3 huang's and 5 di's. Prior to Chin Shih Huang's unification, China was a feudal state. All the heads of the various dynasties were nothing more than leaders of the feudal lords. In essence, Chin Shih Huang was China's first emperor. ><snip> > > My primary research, in the past, has been on my own family from the Chou > Dynasty, on the Ch'ing Dynasty (a Manchurian ethnic group, who ruled > China), and on the Ming Dynasty (Chun, Chen, Chu family surnames).

Are you one of the guys that has been continually flaming me in newsgroups? If a person wants legitimate answers to questions, one does not go around trying to publicly humiliating others. If one doesn't understand a point made by the author of an article, the correct thing to do is to write a private letter to the author asking for an explanation. Trying to humiliate someone and implying in public that one is stupid is very unbecoming and unprofessional. You may sooner or later discover that current history text and interpretations are wrong and that you have humiliated a person who is greater than you. Anything that you say, you will be held accountable for...and sued. Please do not mislead the readers of this newsgroup. > ><snip> > > > > My primary research, in the past, has been on my own family from the Chou > > Dynasty, on the Ch'ing Dynasty (a Manchurian ethnic group, who ruled > > China), and on the Ming Dynasty (Chun, Chen, Chu family surnames).

Do we have anyone experienced in Chinese research in Australia who could give me info on where,how to go about it. Garth

Article: Researching Chinese Roots - Verification of Genealogy Message to all list participants. I do extensive Chinese genealogy work and I maintain a genealogy database of about 40 to 60 Chinese surnames, all written in Chinese, going back to the original Emperor Huang Di. There are two known Chinese Emperors that go by the same title of Huang Di, the original Huang Di, founding Emperor of China, and CHIN Shih Huang Di. Huang Di is China's first patriarchal and founding ancestor, while CHIN Shih Huang Di is merely Emperor of China's fourth dynasty. We in the West, today, accept known sources of genealogy as factual and dismiss what may not be properly documented by our own standards. In the process of verifying Chinese genealogy we must remember and take into account that even the best of China historians have written things in error. What should be upheld in researching genealogy is that history is factual, whether documented by oral history, ancient chants, legends, stories, or the abundance or preponderance of historic fact left in evidence (as traditional documentation). Another thing to remember is that in researching genealogy, one must be honest and have integrity. Chinese families do maintain their own family genealogies and such things are kept in the private domain of the family. Therefore, no public record or verification exist as to the truth of such documents. It is, sometimes, next to impossible to verify. A family will not share it's genealogy with anyone asking. Therefore, when asking for help, in researching genealogy, it is best to identify one's self, present checkable credentials and inform the Chinese family, that you are dealing with, as to the true purpose, nature, and use of this study. Some families will not consent to a public publication of their genealogy, but will consent to a discussion of their roots in general. If one is not honest and sincere, they are not likely to find a cooperative Chinese family. When I do genealogy work, I leave my resume with the families interviewed and I fully explain the nature of my research. I, also, inform them as to whether I am doing this research for book publication, media publication, or just self-study. To be sneaky does not pay as sooner or later people are going to find you out. some people in this world try to do underhanded things in researching things, fact finding for nefarious reasons. Honor is needed in this world and people are more inclined to deal with honest souls, rather than dishonest ones. My primary research, in the past, has been on my own family from the Chou Dynasty, on the Ch'ing Dynasty (a Manchurian ethnic group, who ruled China), and on the Ming Dynasty (Chun, Chen, Chu family surnames). By being honest with all of these people, I have been able to verify and document genealogy that does not appear in current publications. If you go to my website, you will find a partial list of my work in Chinese genealogy, http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Courtyard/1535/cha_pu.html. The term "chia p'u" in Chinese means family album or family genealogy tree book. I use the term "cha p'u" instead to indicate that this is my oath as to the truth of my genealogy work. The work "cha" means, blood oath. By being honest with people, instead of sneaking around, I have been able to uncover a lot of past history, which has evaded China scholars and text materials. Usually, if I have any questions, I will go directly to the source and ask, rather than go behind their backs and perpetuate myth and rumor. I think honor is needed in this world and the Christian standard as given in the Holy Bible is a strong and correct standard of general conduct that should be followed by Western genealogy researchers. In Henry P'u Yee's biography he states that this uncle and that uncle went childless and had adopted him heir to the throne. Additionally, people have called P'u Yee a pretender to the throne. A historian should watch what he says, because if one is wrong or guilty of defamation of character, one is libel to another party for making hurtful inferences in the public domain. The research work that I published online, about Henry P'u Yee and the manchurian genealogy is true and P'u Yee is not a pretender to the throne of China. Henry P'u Yee is what would be called, today, a placeholder Emperor as he was not officially installed by Court. The traditional succession of the Ch'ing Dynasty was not published, until I published some of this history and official succession, online, within the past year or so. Presently, I am the family representative for the above three families, in the regard where I am a family member with some degree of authority and the one upholding the family heritage and history as a family historian. Speaking as a man of great honor, someone who places respect in others, I will go directly to a family in order to discover, for myself, their history. If I hear others slandering their good name, I would be willing to testify in Court as to what was said against them. No one deserves a bum rap, not even the Emperor of China. As a Chinese person, I feel that there is honor within the Chinese culture and the Emperor is considered "Son of Heaven". Anyone holding that title should be accorded the utmost respect, perhaps, as a cultural figure, part of China's ancient past. As a Chinese person, I feel proud of my cultural roots and will defend my Chinese roots with honor. It is wrong for anyone of Chinese ancestry to belittle their own cultural past as such things will come back to haunt them as a class later. When people are of a higher class of citizenry, they do hold to higher principles in life, than just trying to get a bowl of rice to eat daily. Always, the proper thing to do is to ask, when one is in doubt or when one does not know. Some people are hurtful and inconsiderate of others, lawless people without the proper regard for integrity. Truth should prevail in genealogy and history research, but truth with a proper eye to things in view of, my opinion, God's standards. If a fact is true, it will be published. If a fact is not true, its publishers should be sued. Slander and public defamation holds no place in the publication of professional historians or genealogists. The traditional and proper last Emperor of China (of the Manchurian Ch'ing Dynasty) is Henry P'u Yee's uncle, who was installed by Court as Emperor Kuang Yao. This installation occurred in Ma Bin Pou, a mythical city 30 miles outside of Canton, a city chosen which was symbolically done in the name of Emperor Tao Kuang, China's rightful succession Emperor of the Manchurian Ch'ing Dynasty Court. Henry P'u Yee, therefore, was the placeholder figure in the Forbidden City, a placeholder in the name of the Imperial throne of the Ch'ing Emperors/Ch'ing Dynasty. Copyright (c) 06-09-00 Lester D. K.

To: subscribers of rootsweb From: Lester D. K. Chow, president The Chou Clansmen Association of America P.O. Box 4604 Honolulu, Hawaii 96812 Url: http://www.idis.com/ChouOnline E-mail: lchow@lava.net Tel: (808) 538-1855 If people want information about Chinese genealogy in Hawaii, I would be happy to help them free of charge. The purpose of the Chou Clan Association is to serve as a Chinese family surname organization, to preserve Chou clan history and genealogy and to serve as a traditional surname society for people with the last name of Chow (Zhou, Chow, Chou, Jou, etc. Refer to our site, above, for details). There are two basic classes of membership. One, for the Chow surname as full members. Two, for people who are descendants of the Chou Dynasty, with limited membership privileges. The following Chinese surnames descend from the Chou Dynasty King's lineage and Prince lineages: Chow (Zhou), Chang (Cheng, Zheng), Ching (Cheng), Lum (Lin), Ing (Ng), Goo (Ku), Wong (Wang), Kwock (Kwok, Kok, Kuo, Guo), Loui (Lui), Lau (Liu), Lai, Yap (Yip, Ye, Yeh), Choy (Tsai), Ho (He), Mau (Mao), Sun, Chiang (Jiang), Wu (Woo, Wo) and a few others. Also, included in this family grouping are surnames like Dang (Deng, Dung, Tang and Teng), Young (Yang or Yong), Siu (Hsiu, Hsiao, Xiao), Chock (Cheuk, Cho), Tom (Tan, Tam, Thom), and a few others. Affiliated family surnames to the Chow clan, due to marriage-ties created by Chow P'an Lung's lineage descendancy are the Chun (Chun, Chen, Chu, Zhu) and Aisin Gioro surnames. We house a Chinese genealogy library, which boasts about 40 to 60 Chinese surnames, written in Chinese, going back to about 2,400 B.C. Most of these records have been somewhat updated, to 1900 A.D., (especially the Hawaii Chinese records), so finding your family's genealogy should not present a real problem. Additionally, we have access to records in Hong Kong and Taiwan. We do not have a genealogist, presently, so most of the research would have to be done by me, depending on the time I have available. To research one's Chinese roots would cost $160 per hour with no guarantee that the genealogist will be able to find your roots. I am willing to do a simple search at no charge. It would, though, take a professional genealogist to research and find your Chinese roots. We do not have a professional genealogist, presently, at the Chou Clan organization, but we do have and do maintain records for the above families at no cost to them. Contact me by e-mail, by postal mail (send me your e-mail address for the return reply to you), or by phone and I will see what I can do for you. There is no promise that I can locate your family genealogy, though I have been able to help some families in the past. Families do donate copies of their family or clan genealogies for safekeeping, some requesting that access may be only had by family members. If anyone is looking for Hawaii Chinese genealogy, we are your first stopping place. If you have family or clan genealogies that you would like to house at our library, please contact me for details. Also, see http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Courtyard/1535/cha_pu.html for a brief history of our Chou Dynasty and Chou clan. ------------------------------------------------------------ All of the following surnames are related surnames as cousins and family of the Chou Dynasty: Chow (Zhou), Chang (Cheng, Zheng), Ching (Cheng), Lum (Lin), Ing (Ng), Goo (Ku), Wong (Wang), Kwock (Kwok, Kok, Kuo, Guo), Loui (Lui), Lau (Liu), Lai, Yap (Yip, Ye, Yeh), Choy (Tsai), Ho (He), Mau (Mao), Sun, Chiang (Jiang), Wu (Woo, Wo), Dang (Deng, Dung, Tang and Teng), Young (Yang or Yong), Siu (Hsiu, Hsiao, Xiao), Chock (Cheuk, Cho), Tom (Tan, Tam, Thom), Chun (Chun, Chen, Chu, Zhu) and Aisin Gioro (Ai Hsin Cheuh Lo). If your family surname is any of the above, I would suggest registration with the Chou Clansmen Association. All of the above Chinese families make up China's entire Imperial family. http://www.idis.com/ChouOnline/ImperialSuccession.html http://www.idis.com/ChouOnline

I'm looking for the descendants of HUANG SHOUGONG of the early Tang dynasty (AD 618-906) from the Five "An"s regions (Tong'an, Nan'an, Anxi, Hui'an and Zhao'an) in Fujian province, China. Huang Shougong was an early ancestor of the HUANG (YELLOW) clan who lived in Fujian province in the early years of the Tang dynasty (AD 618-906), in Quanzhou area. He had five sons- Jing, Ji, Gang, Lun and Wei, who later moved from Quanzhou and lived separately from one another, establishing the Huang (Yellow) clan in five different places in Fujian (called the Five "An"s). Ji established at TONG'AN, Jing established at NAN'AN, Gang established at ANXI, Lun established at HUI'AN and Wei established at ZHAO'AN. All the Huang clans in these regions carry the name of "ZIYUN" (lit. "purple cloud", refering to the Ziyun temple in Quanzhou) in remembrance of their original home and common ancestry. Therefore the Huang clans in these places are really one family. If you are a member of the Huang clan from one of these places and have a copy of the "Ziyun" Huang clan genealogy, please contact me!

For Hawaiian genealogy (Hawaiian-Chinese) in Hawaii, contact Office of Hawaiian Affairs, 711 Kapiolani Boulevard, 5th floor, Honolulu, Hawaii 96813. Ask them for advice.

Hi Everyone, I am new to this. I am trying to find information on my Great Grandfather, and his son in China. John PARK, born 1820-1830 in London England, we think he was a Post Master in Canton, and may have been a Doctor. His wife was Mary LEE. Henry Richard Samuel PARK, born 05.05.1861, he may have left China in 1875 to Australia. And it is thought he entred through Townsville or Cooktown, and headed for the gold fields. Thank you Tracey Towill ttowill@ozemail.com.au
