My China Roots also has a team of private family history detectives based in Guangzhou\, providing custom research & travel services\, traveling to customers’ ancestral villages\, conducting interviews and digging up whatever family history traces may still be left.

SUMMARY:"Flashback: Chinatown DC" Classroom Application
