Connecting Jiangxi Mao Clan to Hunan and Yunnan Mao Clans
Greetings all,
I have been researching the Mao Clan for around 2 years now, and I have been attempting to connect the Shaoshan branch to the Badu branch, but I have found no luck.
The origins of the Shaoshan branch's origins has been extremely well documented over the centuries by Mao Clan members, here's a quick summary: Mao Taihua 毛太華 was a native of Badu Town, Ji'an, Jishui, Jiangxi, China and was born around 1346 to Mao Renzhe 毛仁者. Taihua had later left his hometown to serve in the Ming Army against the ruling Yuan Dynasty in 1368, and was given the rank of General. He later married Naxi Yunnan native, Mrs. Wang (王氏), the date of marriage had not been documented, and various sources stated it as early as 1368 to as late as 1380, but I would personally estimate 1370 due to the fact Mrs. Wang was born 10 years after Taihua was born.
They later gave birth to 8 children; Qingyi, Qing'er, Qingsan, Qinsi, Qingwu, Qinliu, Qingqi, and Qingba, all living a healthy life, but only the first four children have been recorded in clan genealogies for some strange reason. The first and fourth sons left their home in Yunnan along with their father, as Qing'er and Qingsan inherited the military household. Taihua died 10 years after his great migration to the south. Qingyi and Qingsi's descendants are the Shaoshan Mao Clan and Qing'er and Qingsan's descendants are the Yongsheng Mao Clan in Yunnan, though they have spread all across China.
If any more information is required, please ask.

Do you want to give us a chance to try? We will need the locality and names in Chinese to make sure we are searching for the right surname for you.

Sebastian,
As we know of, you made three bookings for online consultation (2/24, 2/27, and 3/1), but the email address that you provided (s371387@gse.cusd80.com) has rejected any message sent from us.
When you booked an online consultation, we would send you a confirmation email with a Zoom meeting schedule and a link for you. You probably has never received those confirmation emails since your email server rejected our email. We have waited for you to get on the Zoom in those three occasions, but in vain.
If you can provide us with another workable email address when you book next online consultation, we will be able to discuss. I did find many generations' records in our website data but were unable to reach you.

I forgot to add that I had found the family register for Shaoshan, ranging from Taihua, to a little bit of the 21st generation (遠）
Here is the link: https://www.familysearch.org/records/images/image-details?page=1&place=7726340&jiapuOnly=true&rmsId=M94N-LTW&imageIndex=0&singleView=true
The link may be corrupted, however you can find the record in the indexing material list of Shaoshan, Genealogies begin on item 90.
