The Genealogy Society Singapore (GSS) is proud to announce a dynamic partnership with Chinese Ancestry Research (CAR), a global leader in ancestry and roots tracing founded by our Genealogy Adviser, Nathan Co.
CAR’s unparalleled expertise in ancestry research has made it a trusted resource not only in Singapore but worldwide. Over the past 18 months alone, CAR has achieved dozens of successful breakthroughs in tracing Chinese lineage, reconnecting individuals with their ancestral roots and lost family connections.
Beyond its remarkable research successes, CAR has also become a leading voice in genealogy, producing extensive write-ups on topics such as Chinese history, culture, heritage, and practical guides to roots searching. Its vibrant community of over 20,000 members demonstrates a shared commitment to preserving and celebrating the stories of the past for future generations.
This partnership reflects GSS’s mission to foster awareness and interest in genealogy as a vital link to our multi-racial, cross-cultural heritage. Together with CAR, we look forward to empowering individuals and families to discover their unique legacies and strengthen their connections to their ancestors.
