What's New?

2009-05-03. About 10 days ago Dr. Tan Chee Lin, Philip 陳志仁 of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia invited me to join Geni.com, a genealogy site. Tan is another spelling of Chen/Chin/Chan/Chun/Chinn/Tran (陳/陈). He is my 50th cousin thrice removed. It is a very cool site that shows how the Chins/Tans are related to each other, can enter wives and daughters, and it goes all the way back to our very first ancestor, the Yellow Emperor 黃帝 who reigned from 2697 BCE to 2598 BCE. Philip Tan is still working on uploading more village zupus (族譜) or clan genealogy. I have uploaded part of the Huang Village Chin Family Tree and invited some of you to join. I can only invite those whom I have e-mail addresses. If you wish to be invited, please e-mail me at genechin718@aol.com.
