The Confucius Family Genealogy, China's No 1 genealogy project, is now ready after 10 years of updating. It is available online at jiapu.com, as part of the celebrations of Confucius' 2,560th birthday this year.

More than 1.9 million of Confucius' descendents have been registered in the Confucius Family Genealogy' catalog, including nearly 200,000 women, who were excluded from the family genealogy for more than 2,500 years.

Confucius' descendents are scattered all over the world, with more than 10,000 in other Asian countries.
