My China Roots

My China Roots is a Chinese heritage genealogy platform that helps people of Chinese descent trace their ancestry, find records of their ancestors, connect with long-lost relatives, and organize roots trips to China. The platform offers a searchable database of roughly 200 million ancestors drawn from digitized clan books (zupu), overseas immigration records, tombstones, obituaries, and clan association member lists, alongside family-tree building and a Library Edition for institutions. It was surfaced as a 500 Global portfolio company. This profile was enriched by the API Evangelist pipeline; the company exposes a consumer web application only, with no discoverable public API, developer portal, SDKs, or machine-readable API surface at this time.

My China Roots is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Genealogy, Ancestry, China, and Heritage.

My China Roots’ developer surface includes engineering blog and 2 more developer resources.
