Discover Records Easily<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finding Chinese ancestors is now easier than ever. With our new built-in RecordFinder\u2122, we automatically locate new records in the My China Roots Database for you. Just update your family tree and we\u2019ll send Record Matches your way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\ud83d\udd14\u00a0To receive matching records, enable \u201cRecord Matches\u201d in your Profile<\/a> under Email Notifications.

\ud83e\udde9\u00a0Tip: The more details you add for each ancestor (e.g. bilingual names, places, and dates), the better Record Matches you\u2019ll receive.

\ud83d\ude80\u00a0We\u2019ve made significant optimizations to minimize irrelevant Record Matches and simplify the review process.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
