The Kuo Society International

The Kuo Society International is a Hong Kong and American-based Chinese surname society. This website started as a joint project between Henry Kwock and Lester D. K. Chow to publish the genealogy of the Kuo clan and to keep family members together. A telephone campaign was conducted calling all of the Kwocks in Hawaii to join The Kuo Society International and family genealogy records were given out, by another family member, free of charge, dating back to 951 AD. Yet, due to the lack of interest, this too has been temporarily abandoned.

The Kwock surname people in Hawaii come from the Chungshan district in China. They are from the original four Kwock villages in China, in the Chungshan district, of Jook Sau Inn, Char Kee Lock, Kung Fa, and Pang Lum. Today, the Kwocks are spread throughout the whole of China and there are only a very small handful of Kwocks residing in the family villages to uphold the family traditions and customs.

To strengthen family bonds, it is suggested that each Chinese family maintain their family societies (associations), maintain genealogy records, and other traditional- and cultural-ties and celebrations. A family society serves as a benevolent and fraternal needs organization. It should give one a sense of one's roots, family traditions, and history.

The Kwocks in California, I was told, are related to the Kwocks in Hawaii.
