The website is by Mr Li not by government..I hope there will be a similar site for zhangzhou.
Your ancestors could be moved in from those five villages to longxi .I thought my grandfather came from 南安诗山 but actually he moved over there when he was a kid.I found out the correct place from one of his relatives recently.I should say I am from 南安仑苍 with surname 王。
Who can help me with the transcription of this tombstone?
It is a really interesting discussion. Unfortunately, the tombs of the family Li do not give anymore information than the two names I mentioned. Also I am sure that there are no more tombs and it has been that long ago (the years 1840-50), that I guess no one is able to tell me more about the origin.
Other question: 旹光緒叁拾叁年歲次吉置. The first six characters say: age of emperor Guangxu, year 33 (= 1907-08). What do the final 5 characters mean?

Just a verb to mean erect.
The problem is there are indeed a lot of zhangzhou longxi people in Indonesia more than any other places in SEA.But we are talking about 6.5m quanzhou people in SEA.You could easily be one of these quanzhou people.Above website mentions there are 100000 anxi penglai origin outside of China,I think you should feel proud that you are one of them .
