Si Family Genealogy

My surname is Si, with the given name Runpu. I am the 19th generation of the Si family. I am from Zhandian Town, Wuzhi County, Jiaozuo County, Henan Province. I also serve as the kinship association of the Hejing Si family in Zhandian County, Wuzhi County, Henan Province. Secretary General. Not only do we have a family tree, but it is also very complete and is included in the collection of the Jiaozuo City Archives.

The He Jingsi family of Zhandian was an immigrant from Hongdong. In the second year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, he moved to Sijiaying, Longmen, Luoyang. In the third generation, he moved to Nanwangwangdi, Yuanwu County, Pingyuan County, Luwangfu, Hebei Province. In the tenth generation, he moved to Wu, Huaiqing Prefecture. The 14th generation moved to Toupu Camp in Qianqiu Township, Xiaohejing to visit relatives. The family now has a population of about 280.

The existing Si family tree was first compiled in the eighth year of the Republic of China (1909). The old genealogy was lost during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. After that, despite the war and chaos, the genealogy was revised three times without any interruption. The latest update was in the winter of 1985. So far, it has not been updated. It will be continued within the family in 2017 and resumed in 2018.

Due to the large number of people in the family, it is very difficult to renew and manage the family tree. The ancestors innovated a trinity model, that is, the family tree is divided into three parts: genealogy, Geng genealogy and hanging genealogy.

The genealogy is registered according to the family lineage, and each family can be clearly identified.

All men in the Gengpu clan are registered in a unified register according to their seniority. The hanging genealogy is used for memorial ceremonies and is hung in the ancestral hall during festivals. The ordering above corresponds to the Geng genealogy genealogy, making it easy to search.

We once participated in the Central Plains Genealogy Exhibition Review Conference. It was a sight at the conference. It was hard to find a copy and it was quite a sensation.

The family tree is the heirloom of our family. It not only records the family’s personal connections and inheritance, but also records the family’s anecdotes. The clan members regard it as a treasure and strictly protect it.

Water has a source, and trees have roots. May our big family become more prosperous.
