In Reply to: Confucius's descendant? posted by Diana on August 08, 2002 at 13:16:56:
: My grandmother on my father's side has the same surname as Confucius (Kong). I read on this webpage that there is more than one origin of the surname Kong. Which origin is more common, and what are the chances that I am one of Confucius's descendants? Thanks for the help! :)
my last name is Kong, too. my dad told me that there is only one family from which Kongs come from; theres a few thousand books containing names of everyone from his family, and my name's in there. confucius's direct descendant could be ur grandmother's thirty-second cousin ten times removed, but hey, it's still pretty cool to be related to someone famous :)
