Lineage of the 白 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.

According to the article "Zhao" in "Origins of Taishan's Surnames", a Bai family once lived in the east of Tianchou Village, now in Doushan Town; some generations after Zhongbao Gong of the Zhao moved there, the clan grew stronger by the day, and the Bai later moved east and founded Fuhua Village. Further, according to the "General Catalog of Chinese Genealogies", there is a [Taishan, Guangdong] "Heyi Bai Gong Family Genealogy" (a 1935 manuscript copy of the Junde Tang), whose founding ancestor, Heyi, eleventh in birth order (Shiyi Lang), lived in the Yuan dynasty.^[1][2][3][edit]

据《台山姓氏源流》「赵氏」一文，今斗山镇的田稠村原有白姓居于村东；赵氏仲宝公移来以后数传，族势日壮，白姓后来东迁，另立伏华村。另据《中国家谱总目》，有［广东台山］《鹤仪白公家谱》（1935年峻德堂抄本），始祖鹤仪，行十一郎，元代人。
