The (Na Dong Chuen, Na Dong Cun) consists of 3 sub-villages. Photo 1 shows the main subvillage. It is a poor village and has no entrance gates except a road leading to it. Photo 2 shows another subvillage which exists further inside past the fields of the first one. Photo 3 shows another subvillage which exists on the other side of the road.
Most of the residents from this village are farmers. Photo 4 shows a farmer using a cow to cultivate the soil. Photo 5 shows a close-up view of such a cow. There are about 70 households in this village. The people here have electricity and telephone services. However, they don't have self-running faucet water as the villages get their water from a well as shown in Photo 6.

We have asked the people in this village to see if they know (Chan Leung Daat, Chen Liang Da). None of the people that we interviewed knew him. However, a villager has a ancestral genealogy book written by
(Chan Gwong Wai, Chen Guang Hui) as shown in Photo 10. If we are to locate
(Chan Leung Daat, Chen Liang Da), we believe this might be the best place to look for any related records of this person. However, the villager has only one copy and he suggested that we contact the author of this book directly to see if we can get a copy.

Based on the middle character of the after-marriage name, one can tell from which generation the person is from. For the (Na Dong Chuen, Na Dong Cun), the characters go in the following order:
13th generation | ![]() |
14th generation | ![]() |
15th generation | ![]() |
16th generation | ![]() |
17th generation | ![]() |

Thus, one can tell that (Chan Gwong Wai, Chen Guang Hui) is from the 25th generation and
(Chan Cheung Jik, Chen Chang Zhi) is from the 17th generation as shown. However, there is no
(Leung, Liang) character which indicates that
(Chan Leung Daat, Chen Liang Da) might not be from the
(Na Dong Chuen, Na Dong Cun) village or it is only a birth name. Chen Yin Foo has told us that his grandfather (
(Chan Leung Daat, Chen Liang Da) son) name is Chen Lu Sing. This also doesn't match with the names shown.
If (Chan Leung Daat, Chen Liang Da) is a birth name,
(Chan Gwong Wai, Chen Guang Hui) suggests that we should go back to
(Na Dong Chuen, Na Dong Cun) and ask the elderly people in each of the sub-villages to see if they know of such a person.
(Chan Gwong Wai, Chen Guang Hui)said that
(Na Dong Chuen, Na Dong Cun)actually has 6 subvillages. The names of these subvillages are as follows:
