If you have Oriental ancestry, you will want to read an article written by Twila Van Leer and published in the FamilySearch.org web site. It describes the efforts of Derek Dobson, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who served his missionary years  in Hong Kong and became interested in Oriental genealogy. Dobson currently serves as a customer experience manager at FamilySearch with an emphasis in Asian ancestry. The article describes Dobson's work.

    Please don't use the term Oriental when referring to Asian research or anything Asian.

      I used to live in China and have traveled a lot in Hong Kong, Korea, Macau, Thailand, and Singapore. I noticed the local Chinese citizens always used the word "Oriental" when referring to themselves or their homelands.
