[edit] Tan Hong Zhi

Why did you remove the reference to this man? He is prominent and he is of this clan.

BTW. Please insert the source(s) for your section about the origins of the surname. Is it In Search of Your Asian Roots: Genealogical Research on Chinese Surnames by Sheau-yueh J Chao, published by Clearfield Co, Baltimore 2000? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.55.158.187 (talkcontribs) 2007-03-19 21:25:09

[edit]

"Tan" is also 陈/陳, use by many chinese in SE Asia. In this case Tan is the pronounciation/spelling of 陈/陳 in Hokkien/TeoChew dialect. So when someone tell you he is Tan, do not assume right away that he is 谭/譚.Wiki Pokemon 20:50, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
