[FACE=宋体][b][FACE=宋体][SIZE=3](有位菲律滨宗亲向我求助,我现将他的信件翻译后传到宗亲网.希望有相关消息的宗亲能跟我联络.)

站长您好,我很高兴能在您的网上找到另我感到骄傲的曾家历史.

我在十年前就着手编写家谱.不过始终无法找到许多分支的去向与前辈的下落.我不知道他们目前是在中国,还是仍然留在菲律滨.我希望您能为我的搜索提供一点线索与方向.

我家来自YuNian,一般上人们都称它为中国福建省晋江市池店镇御辇村.我曾祖父有三位兄弟,在二战前都去了菲律滨.我曾祖父这支的资料我都已经收集齐全,并上了谱.可是我曾祖父兄弟的房谱我却无从着手.我还有位叔叔在中国,他也不知道他们的去向.目前我只能根据我这位叔叔提供的名字继续我的搜索.

我的华文水平不高,这令到我的搜索面对很大的阻力.目前我能提供的只有我所知道的几个名字,希望您能在您的记录中能有有关他们的资料.我虽然有张我太祖母的照片.可是我不知道我太公与太祖母的名字.

以下是我曾祖父与他兄弟的名字(名字是根据长幼排列):
         Zeng Hua Lu - 曽花 鹿
         Zeng Da Mu - 曽大目
         Zeng Xiao Mu - (我祖父)- 曽 小目
         Zeng Xi Shui -曽溪 水
         (曾溪水的儿子)Zeng Jin Sha 曽 金 沙

我还有位年纪非常大的亲戚在菲律滨,她说她在年幼时,家人与兄弟们都回到中国去了.据说他是我曾祖父的其中一为兄弟的女儿.

村庄:中国福建省晋江市池店镇御辇村

顺祝祺安！

信件原文:

Hi Administrators of Zeng Family website,
 
It is with great happiness that I chanced upon your wonderful site.  It makes me proud of our long history that has become part of my heritage.
 
I have started making our family tree more than 10 years ago.  There are still missing branches in this tree including old relatives who are missing siblings (in China or Philippines, we do not know).  As I continue to search for these missing branches, I am hoping you could provide me guidance as well.
 
My family came from YuNian village in Jinjiang, Fujian, China.  This village is popularly known as E-Ni.  My great-grandfather and 3 of his brothers went to the Philippines most probably before the 2nd World War.  Most relatives under my great-grandfather's line I have already listed in the family  tree.  The others missing are those of his siblings.  My uncle in China do not know where the other descendants of the 3 great-granduncles are now.  He was able to give me a few names to start with my search.
 
My very limited knowledge of the Chinese language makes it very hard for me to further search them.  So far, here are my the names I would like to inquire if you have records of them or the names of their descendants.
 
I have a picture of my great-greatgrandmother but her name is unknown.  I do not know the name of our great-great grandfather too.  They are the parents of the names listed below.

--> Here are the names of my great-grandfather and his siblings in the order of their seniority:
          Zeng Hua Lu - 曽 花 鹿
          Zeng Da Mu - 曽 大目
          Zeng Xiao Mu - my great-grandfather - 曽 小目
          Zeng Xi Shui -曽 溪 水 and his son Zeng Jin Sha 曽 金 沙
 
We have a very old relative here in the Philippines who said her family left her when all of her parents and siblings went back to China.  She is said to be the daughter of one of my great-grandfather's siblings but we do not know which.
 
Village: 中国福建省晋江市池店镇御辇村
 
Regards and More Power to you all,
 
曽宏達  Zeng Hong Da
