I'm looking for my family's ancestral village which is supposed to be near Xiamen (or perhaps now part of), but I only know its name in minnan dialect, which is: Ching A Bway / Ching Nga Bway. The clan name is cai/chua. Does anyone know where this village might be and what the name is in mandarin? I'd like to go there one day. Thanks a lot!

Hello Schizoide and Guest39163, you can trace by these names. Every surname is typical to a village. To give a easy try, you must provide yr father or grandfather name. The most important your ancestral speaking dialect! To tell you the best place to get them is a clan association or grave of any relative. Most important to be accurate you must not provide or quote names in Hanyi pinying. Chinese character is most useful.
