Wung Sam Sing

I discovered a map that indicated Hakka Villages around GuanLan Town.  This helped me get more specific for the village that Wung Sam Sing came from.

Wung Sam Sing’s Tombstone, engraved by EL.Wung says that he came from
 Kon Lan Hi, Khi Pyan.  In an earlier post, I indicated that a family friend stated that Wung Sam Sing came from  Kon Lan Hee Pang.  In a forum, I found a discussion that supplied hakka villages around Kon Lan or GuanLan Town that showed a village close to the river called “Kee Piang”.  I looked at some of the pronunciations in different Hakka and this could very well be the village
Kon Lan Hi (Hakka)  that Wung Sam Sing came from.
So I am assuming that Kon Lan Hi, Khi Pyan is ‘Hakka’ and here are the characters:

觀 瀾  墟  ,     企坪

 

Guan Lan xū,  Qi Ping  (Mandarin)
Gun Laan Heoi,  Kei Ping  (cantonese)

 

I found this map of GuanLan Town  (Kon Lan Hi) with the Hakka Villages.

You will see above Gon Lan (Guan Lan) the village of Kee Piang (Qi Ping).  Dongguan Hakka looks to translate/pronounce Piang to Pian.  This is great.  I wonder and should find out if it was Dongguan Hakka that my Great Grand Father spoke.  My mother doesn’t really know.  This would make sense since Kon Lan use to be part of DongGuan.  Now it is part of Bao’an and Shenzhen city.

It was at this Link:  http://siyigenealogy.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=gotopost&board=names&…
If came from a book “JAMAICAN CHINESE WORLDWIDE – ONE FAMILY” by Patrick & Lorraine Lee.  I still have to get/obtain this book.

 

Here are other Maps for this location which in Mandarin is called “Qiping” village which is close to GuanLan Town.  I guess QuanLan Town is like downtown center and there are all these villages associated with GuanLan Town, one of which is QiPing Village or ‘Kon Lan Hi’.  Hi is ‘village’.

 Below is the chinese character, definitions and the different dialect pronunciations.  I also put ‘Pang” in here.
Guan Lan is in Bao’an district today and is part of Shenzhen city.  It was in Dongguan before.  The pronunciation looks to be similar to Dongguan Hakka which would make sense.

I started this to be able to post on things that I find on Wung Sam Sing, my great Grandfather on my mother’s father’s side.

I also posted some things on blogger.
