Kàng / K'ang
The source explicitly identifies “伉” as a currently rare surname and as a Han Chinese surname. This establishes only the Han surname classification stated by this source, not that every surname of the same form belongs to the same naming system.
The source says that the Dictionary of Surnames includes “伉氏” and that it quotes the Lushi and Fengsu Tong; its explanation of “the three Kangs” also quotes the Lushi. These are second-level compilations and quotations on the webpage, so they should not be treated as direct verification of the original texts.
One passage places the surname in Guangzhou, Guangdong, while another states that it occurs in Guangzhou, Guangdong, and Tianjin. The source lists the commanderies as Hanping and Hanzhong. It provides no population figure with a statistical year, migration route, or hall name.
The source lists Kang Xi as a Han-period zhong dafu and Kang Jia as a Jin-period governor of Hanzhong. It does not state that they belonged to a common lineage, so their shared surname does not establish a genealogical connection.
Start with ancestral counties, villages, personal names and dates. Record genealogy titles, volumes, editions and catalog identifiers. A shared surname does not prove a shared lineage; compare branch records.
