宛北周氏: A Family Archive with a Long Memory
A Chinese-language family archive documenting the Zhou clan’s genealogy, local history, family rules, notable ancestors, and scattered descendants.
Field notes
The site combines a navigable family-tree structure with transcribed source material rather than presenting only a modern summary. Its account divides the genealogy across four regional branches and includes a proposed thirty-two-character naming sequence after the ninth-generation 文 branch. The archive also preserves family rules and biographies describing farming, sericulture, traditional medicine, teaching, military service, music, and migration to cities including Nanyang, Beijing, and Guangzhou.
