The reason why I'm sending you an E-mail is to tell you about my family history. My surname "Lee" is from Yeong Cheon Nam Gok group and I am.
My family's progenitor is Lee Moon-Han who was Pyeong Jang Sa at Korea generation. Pyeong Jang Sa is a rank in Korea generation which is like a vice-minister in nowdays.
There were people who made Yeong Cheon Lee's family proud. First is Lee Guek in and Lee Su choon brother. When it was Korea Sing Jong King era, They suppressed a rebellions and become a Sang Jang Goon and MunHwa Pyeong Jang Sa. Sang Jang Goon is a highest rank in Militory. And when is was a Jo-seon era, Lee Bo Hum passed National literetval test and became a member of Jipyeonjeon, where king Se Jong made Hangul. Also there was a famous person who was a mother of Jeong Mong Ju. Jeong Mong Ju was so loyal to Korea. and also he mentally helped others to found a new country Jo seon at the same time. His mother made a poem named " The valley where the crow fought" . From Korea to Jo seon, there has been many people who made my family proud. I alway thank my ancestors and give them a huge respect for saving my family until now.

Hello I’m Kang hye won. My major is healthcare management.
Let me introduce my family’s history. My family name is Jinju Kang. My progenitor is general Kang min cheom. He is general of Koryo Dynasty. In 1018, as many as one hundred thousand of Sobaeap came to Koryo. Then general Kang min cheom helped general Kang gam chan and defeat the enemy. So they won by a landslide and he rendered distinguished services.
In the past, I didn’t have an opportunity to inquiring minutely, but now I know these facts. I am so proud of my progenitor. My father is army, too. Haha. He closely resembles my progenitor. In the future, I emulate him, I will live life to the full.
This picture is my progenitor Kang min cheom’s birthplace.
The History of my ancestor
Choi Su Yeon
a few months ago, Korea celebrated ‘Chuseok’. Chuseok, the autumn festival celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, is a special traditional holiday to celebrate the good harvest for Koreans. Because Koreans eat traditional food like ‘Songpyeon’ and wish upon the full moon. especially we spend time with our family. So I asked my grandparents about our ancestor. I listened to the story.
My ancestor is ‘Choi Young kyu’. he is the 16th eldest grandson of the King who named Gyeongsun of Unified Silla. my grandparents said “originally, our family name is ‘Kim’. but he received the first name ‘choi’ from Chungnyeol of Goryeo in 1302. because he had passed the civil service examination in 1261 and as a ‘Suseng(present Suwon city)’ mayor, he had received recognition for his accomplishments from official duties.” then, I know why our family clan is Suseng(Suwon). and I searched about ‘Suseong Choi’. it is divided to two pedigree. one is ‘youngkyu’, the other is ‘Geogyeong’. the total number of group is 14. that’s all.
I’m surprised about two-things. I’m really don’t know that we are related in Unified silla’s king and first name ‘Kim’. through Chuseok, I was able to know about our ancestor. so, it is a very meaningful day to me. from now I think I can talk my ancestor to other people.
