In searching foreign-language websites and news, I ran across a list of websites at www.chtw.org where the Chinese genealogist will find information. Note that some of the sites have English language sites as well. The Fujian Provincial Library, Suzhou City Archives, Quanzhou City Library, and the Zhejiang Library also had website addresses recommended for genealogy research, but the links were bad. This isn’t a comprehensive list by any means. The Generation’s Network’s new Chinese site wasn’t even mentioned in the article I ran across.

Can anyone help me find my great grandpa’s ancestral lineage?
His name is Chiquito Po To…, but I’m not really sure if that’s his original name. He’s originally from Amoy, china, and he came here from the Philippines and got married to my great grandma… I believe he may be a merchant or a traveller…, but how can i trace his ancestors? i can’t even find any PO TO surnames existing. I need your help 🙁 tnx
