Sinchon Gang clan (Hangul: 신천 강씨; Hanja: 信川 康氏) is a Korean clan from Sinchon County, Hwanghae Province. According to a census held in 2000, the clan has 44,259 members and 13,909 families.
The daedongbo (a compilation genealogy book of related clans) of the Sinchon Gang clan claims that Gang Hogyeong was the 67th generation descendant of Gang Hu (Hangul: 강후; Hanja: 康侯), a grandson of King Wen of the Zhou dynasty. However, the historical veracity of that claim cannot be verified.[1] Furthermore, the true progenitor of the Sinchon Gang clan is considered to be Gang Ji-yeon, a 14th generation descendant of Gang Hogyeong, not Gang Hogyeong himself.[2]
