Village Database
If your ancestor originated from the Siyi (四邑) region of Xinhui (新會), Taishan (台山), Kaiping (開平) or Zhongshan (中山) this database may be of help.
To help find the name of your ancestral village all you have to do is enter your surname (it would be helpful if you also know the Chinese characters) and the database will display a list of village names in transliterated Cantonese plus Chinese characters.
The website is: http://www.c-c-c.org/villagedb/search.cgi
