RLP 138: Chinese Research with Linda Yip

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today's episode of Research Like a Pro is about Chinese Ancestry. We talk with Linda Yip, author of the website</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Past Presence</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">and the new book,</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Getting Started in Chinese Genealogy.</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">Linda tells about how to research Chinese ancestors in Canada or the United States. She also teaches us about Jiapu, Chinese clan genealogies and how they can stretch back 24-36 generations. We review the laws and history for Chinese immigrants and how that affected the records created. Linda shares about her experience at the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy in the Chinese Ancestry and Genetic Genealogy courses.</span></p> <p><strong>Links</strong></p> <p><a href="https://past-presence.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://past-presence.com/</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">- Linda's website</span></p> <p><a href= "https://past-presence.com/2017/05/03/an-uncertain-homecoming-part-i-wwii-the-chinese-and-the-fight-for-civil-rights-1939-1967/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">An uncertain homecoming, Part I: WWII, the Chinese, and the fight for civil rights 1939-1967</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">- blog post by Linda</span></p> <p><a href= "https://past-presence.com/product/getting-started-in-chinese-genealogy/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Getting started in Chinese genealogy</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">- Linda's book</span></p> <p><a href= "https://past-presence.com/chinese-genealogy-resources/"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Chinese Genealogy Resources</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">- Linda's list</span></p> <p><a href= "https://slig.ugagenealogy.org/cpage.php?pt=615"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Chinese Ancestry Course at the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">(SLIG) - Virtual course Fall 2021</span></p> <p><a href=
