Notes

Unfortunately I can't find "Hillmer" in the bibliography of Xiong's paper! But I'll check Google... WhisperToMe (talk) 16:57, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

Ok! It's Paul Hillmer's People's History of the Hmong. No page number is mentioned in Xiong's paper but if it's on Google Books I can pull up a citation sentence. WhisperToMe (talk) 16:59, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

How are Langkya and Senggesang related?

I'm trying to find out how Langkya and Senggesang are related.

• Senggesang is the son of King Dzewang of Lesser Jinchuan (Theobald, "Second Jinchuan Campaign," p. 57)
• Langkya gave one of his daughters to Senggesang so the latter could marry her (Theobald, "Second Jinchuan Campaign," p. 59)  Done
