How to check the ancestral home?

You can check your ancestral home by genealogy.

With the development of history, from official genealogy to folk genealogy, the recorded contents are constantly enriched and the functions are constantly increasing and changing. Nowadays, genealogy, like the county names and hall numbers of surnames, is not only used to distinguish the source of surnames, but also used as reference materials for recognizing ancestors and returning to the ancestral home and studying history, geography, society and folk customs. This is also an important part of surname culture. It centers on recording the lineage and characteristics of the paternal family.

Genealogy is a unique cultural heritage in China and has a long history in Han nationality. Genealogy not only records the origin and migration of the family, but also includes the whole historical and cultural process of the family's survival, reproduction, marriage, culture, clan rules and agreements.

The difference between origin and household registration:

Origin refers to someone's original birthplace before moving to a place.

Generally speaking, the place of origin is paternal, and some are maternal; In terms of ancestral home, ancestral home refers to the place where ancestors lived for a long time, divided by region.

The domicile is not necessarily the person's ancestral home or native place, especially in economically developed areas, some new places that started construction after the founding of New China and places that have developed rapidly since modern times. A large number of people's native place is not their domicile place. Generally, these people moved from other places to new places after China's reform and opening up or in the era of planned economy, according to the distribution of countries at that time or in modern times.

According to the tradition of China for thousands of years, native place is an expression of ancestral home, which is the difference between household registration and native place.
