Grand Family Association | 各宗親會聯合會
Generally, a family association is an organization formed by people who share a common ancestor or surname. They join together for a variety of purposes including exchanging genealogical information, sharing current news about family members, having reunions, and promoting family pride.
Some family associations strive to collect information about people with their surname all over the world, while others consist of a relatively small family group in a specific geographic area. Some groups put a lot of effort into family research while others prefer to concentrate more on family reunions and current family news.
Family associations often figure prominently among the Overseas Chinese. Family association buildings are often prominent features of Chinatowns.1
Chinese clan associations (Chinese: 會館/会馆) are formed by Overseas Chinese based on dialect groups or same family names to look after their members's affairs and welfare. In modern days, Chinese Clan Associations mostly serve as places for old folks to gather; the younger generations are seldom involved in clan activities.2
