Ancester Ji1姬 before Foo

According to PREFACE of the Foo Genealogy by ou1yang2 xiu1宋歐陽修, 符Fu (Foo) was the descendent of hou4 ji4后稷, who was the fourth generation offspring of huang2di4皇帝. After 14th generation, they established the Zhou dynasty (1122-221BCE) The first Emperor of Zhou dynasty, zhou1wen2wang2 周文王has a son called zhou1gong1周公. zhou1 gong1周公( 15th generation)’s son was bo2qin2伯禽, who was made the lord of lu3 魯.They were the lord of Lu3 for the next 18 generations till lu3 qing3gong1魯 頃公, when they lost the lordship after being defeated. lu3 qing3gong1魯 頃公( 33rd generation) had a grandson, named 雅ya3 (0-1-35).雅ya3 governed the emperor seal for qin2 秦and so adopted Foo符 as his Family name instead of Ji1姬 .

*雅ya3 (0-1-35): I add the 3 numbers in the bracket ( #-#-#) : The 1st number 0 indicated the person was still a resident in Main land

and not at Hainan, 2nd number is the generation after acquire the Family name Foo符, the last number indicates the generations counting

down from huang2di4皇帝, 2698BCE ( 4706 years ago today at 2009CE) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_calendar

However according to the 12th edition of Foo Geneallogy published in March 2003(第十二次续修《符氏族谱》took 6 years from 1996—2003年3月）Ya3 was the 45th generation rather than the 35th , so there is error of 10th generationfrom previous edition. The list of the ancestors are as follow and therefore 雅ya3 is (0-1-45). And for 27generations, the Foo Ancestor were the lord of Lu3, with the Family name of Ji1姬.
