The Lim Family Ancestry is a website dedicated to documenting the lineage of the Lim family, who originated from the Taishan region of China and immigrated to Detroit, Michigan.

This site was launched on October 1st 2024, in honor of Yot Lim's birth date, and traces his and Elayne Lim's family trees.

Yot Lim was born in the village of Tin Sum and was able to list his ancestors going back four generations. His wife, Elayne, of the Wu Yen family, was born in the village of Hoiping and was able to list her ancestors going back two generations.

This site hosts family tree charts, family member lists, a discussion board, and a space for each member to add their own information. If you're a member of the family, a relative or a spouse, please tell other members about this site. Contact us and we can give you a login. Let us know if we forgot to add anyone.

Inside you'll find a series of web pages, PDFs, Excel spreadsheets, Word documents, and photocopied images. Feel free to download any and all of these files and spread them as far and wide as you can. Saving our information across different sites, platforms, devices and other media, whether digital or analog, typed or hardwritten, or even redrawn on paper, is the best way we can think of to extend and preserve our history.
