The University of Bristol’s Hong Kong History Centre will be holding two family history workshops in Manchester. These in-person workshops are free of charge and will be led in Cantonese by Dr Vivian Kong, Co-Director of the Centre. Participants will be guided through the process of tracing their roots and documenting their family histories, helping them preserve their family stories for future generations.
No prior knowledge of Hong Kong history or family history is required. Participants are welcome to bring family members, including grandparents, parents, children, siblings, and cousins. Simply indicate this when registering.
Session 1: Introduction – where do I start with family history research?
In this session, Dr Vivian Kong will share practical tips and research techniques for tracing family histories. She will introduce a range of Hong Kong history databases and basic methods for organising family history research, helping participants uncover traces of their families’ lives in Hong Kong.
Session 2: Family history research consultation workshop
Dr Kong will be joined by PhD students specialising in Hong Kong history to work with participants on untangling family history mysteries. Together, they will explore historical documents, newspaper clippings, and old photographs related to participants’ families, helping them preserve their family histories for future generations.
Dr Vivian Kong is Senior Lecturer in Modern Chinese History and Co-Director of Hong Kong History Centre at University of Bristol. Born and raised in Hong Kong, she is most interested in understanding how British colonial rule shaped the city's identity formation and migration networks. She is the author of Multiracial Britishness: Global Networks in Hong Kong 1910-45 (Cambridge University Press, 2024), and is now leading on an initiative to support those with roots in Hong Kong to pursue their family history, by developing the first ever bilingual beginners' guide to family history in Hong Kong.
