I'm from Cangzhou, and my surname is Ma. According to genealogical records, it was moved from Hongdong County, Shanxi Province in the Ming Dynasty. Where else does Ma have the same surname as us?

The clan surnames that migrated from Shaanxi to Luji in Ming Dynasty generally moved in during Yongle period of Ming Dynasty. At that time, Rebecca swept across the north, and Hebei, Shandong and Henan were close to the capital, which was greatly affected by the war. The luji area was severely damaged by war and famine, and natural disasters and military disasters made the luji area thousands of miles away. Because Hebei and Shandong were important breeding bases of war horses in the Ming Dynasty, in order to restore the horse households as soon as possible, the Ming court at that time urgently needed to restore the vitality of Hebei and Shandong, so it forcibly moved a large number of people from Shanxi.

Your ancestors may have moved to Hebei during this period. If you want to find the same Ma surname who moved from Shanxi to Shandong in the Ming Dynasty, you can go to Shandong to find it. During Yongle period, the population who moved from Shanxi to Shandong was much more than that who moved to Hebei.
