I"m looking forward to seeing you at RootsTech. And thanks again for the information on Shanghai's Public Library. I visited their Genealogy reading room yesterday after getting the information from your post. Amongst all the other goodies there, they have the family book for Confucius on display - so fun!AClarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08694725102140084611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-84079704471230000122014-01-05T13:57:26.346-07:002014-01-05T13:57:26.346-07:00Thanks for you nice comment.

I live in Shanghai and found this post helpful, especially the link to the room number and hours.

It's good that some of the family pedigree records have been preserved - many were destroyed during the Cultural Revolution, so I'm happy to see that there were plenty of survivors.<br /><br />Also just wanted to note - while the "329 family names" might not seem like a huge number, the top 100 surnames in China account for almost 85% of the population. While that means easy access to information about surname meanings, it also means that it would be harder to find your particular family in amongst all of the people with the same name.Antrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17159358163089140865noreply@blogger.com
