I have 19 generations of Chinese records of my ancestors. I do not read Chinese. Fifty of the names were translated for me and I have taken these names to temples and work had been done years ago. I just don't know how to get these names to connect to my family tree.

    "It's possible your ancestor already exists in FamilySearch's database. Here's how to add an existing record to your part of the Tree."

    I don't know if these names are already in the database. I tried searching one of the names, zero match. I cannot connect them yet as what I have in my family tree now are generation(s) gaps to these names I am trying to add to my Family Tree. But right now, I am trying to locate them. Where do I go to locate these names?

    Does "Fifty of the names were translated for me" mean the translated names are in Chinese characters? If so, do you know anybody can type Chinese for you? If not, you can book our free online consultation to get 20 minutes of helps. The links are:

    The fifty names are no in Chinese characters. The reason I need them translated into English so I can read them. I do not know anyone who can type Chinese characters for me.

    I will check out the link you gave me and see where I can go from there.

    Thank you, Lena!
