Lineage of the 江 families of Taishan

Translated from the Chinese, each part followed by its Chinese original. Places in Taishan are given with their pinyin; the sources’ own words (Source text) are in Chinese.

Compiled from the sources listed at the end. Every generation and every branch gives its source, and “Source text” shows the source’s own sentences; one that gives none is marked “no source”. Where a source says generations are lost or unknown, a dashed line marks the gap; where sources disagree, both are given.

The “General Catalog of Chinese Genealogies”, compiled by the Shanghai Library, lists [Taishan, Guangdong] “Jiang Family Genealogy of the Jiang Xianlong Household” (a 1984 manuscript copy, one volume), which takes Dexing of the Song as first migrant ancestor.^[1][edit]

上海图书馆编《中国家谱总目》著录［广东台山］《江显隆户家江氏族谱》（1984年抄本，一册），以宋代人德兴为始迁祖。

Lineage chart

Each box is a stretch of the line; a name leads to its entry and sources below. Each branch ends in the villages it settled - a linked one opens its village page. Scroll sideways when the chart is wide.

The line in detail

A place with a link was matched to its village page within the same town; the others are as the sources write them. See the villages of the 江 surname.
