After a few years of searching, I managed to come across and purchased a complete set of 族谱 from China. I was interested when I was shown photostated copies of certain pages by my relative when I visited him a few years ago. He had gone back to China and visited the ancestral shrine but only took some pages. There is a total of 13 books. Unfortunately, the language used is so archaic that we don't understand.

Seetoh and Situ are both Chinese. The latter is written in the Mandarin dialect.

In China, "Mandarin" is the dialect that's chosen to be the putonghua. There is no repudiation of other dialects being equally "Chinese".

You must be a yoomer or zoomer, who had been brainwashed to call "Mandarin" Chinese when in fact, it is only one of many dialects spoken in China.
