Research boundary
The ordinary meaning or reading of this character must not be used to infer its surname pronunciation or origin. A claim should be added only when a gazetteer, genealogy, inscription, historical surname work or other dated record explicitly names this surname.
References for the recorded name
Continue your family research
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.
