My grandfather's name was Guo Si Yan. He was a Hakka from Guangdong province, Dapu county. He had seven siblings.I think he was born in 1898.
He attended PaoTing officer's academy in mainland China and was a general in the KMT army.I believe he was a 43rd generation descendents of Guo Ziyi, the Tang dynasty statesman/general. I believe a few of his brothers immigrated to Indonesia or Malaysia.

If you are a Hakka with last name of Kuo/Guo/Kwok
then please contac t me. I am working on a family tree.

Hello. Very interesting. My family has been in Singapore for a few generations and we used to know the village we came from, but we lost our "jiapu" in the cultural revolution. How is it that the Guo clan went from Fenyang (territoriy of Guoziyi) to Guangdong in the 19th century?? Do you have a clue? I wld be very interested to find out. Thanks.

Sincerely, your kin,
Ling

Hello all,

My grandfather left a small fishing village in GuangXi province China in the early 1920s/1930s for Vietnam, and subsequently our Kwok/Guo/Kuo was writen as Quach in Vietnamese. For any Vietnamese, one look at this surname will no doubt indicate us as of Chinese descend.

In Teowcheo if i am not wrong its writen as Quek and Kwek...

Back in 1992 i went back to his village near the town of Qisha, GuangXi and the whole village name Kwok. So this is supposedly where my grandfather orginated, but i wonder where were my ancestor originated as i read in this website that we originated from Shanxi....

Grateful for anyone who can shed some light on this and point me to more informative sources.

Wowww...it's amazing to know there's few people with your same last name. I am Chiuchow too. I was born in Vietnam because my grandfather who originally from China move to Vietnam marry my grandma(Vietnam born)who is I think 1/2 chinese/vietnamese. My grandfather originate from a village in Guangdong. I think it's between Canton and 3-4 hrs away from Shenzhen. Like you, the whole village got the surname Guo or Kowk. We even have a little shrine for the Guo surname! We still have relatives living there. Probably Guo is widely distributed because it is a common surname

I'm Kwee/Guo

My family is Quock on my mother's side (I'm Quan on my father's side). This is the same as Guo in the Chinese character. We have a family tree that goes back to 1098 AD with our "first" ancestor Guo Gwei Luke. He was born in Young Chow, Nan King in Chiang Soo province. He passed the Imperial Examination and was commissioned as the education director in Guangzhou, Guangdong province. I'm interested in seeing whether there was a direct line between Guo Ziyi (697-781) and Guo Gwei Luke. I need to establish a line from 781 through 1098 AD. Any suggestions?

Where in Indonesia ?

My understanding was my grandfather, Guo Siyan, originally from Dapu county in Guangdong province, was actually born in Jakarta. Are you from Jakarta ?
