Choe Cheon-ro is traditionally the founder of the Sangnyeong Choe clan and is said to have held the Goryeo post of Munha Sirang Pyeongjangsa, a chief-minister-level office. His dates and the characters of his name vary and were not confirmed.
After the restorer Choe Yu-ga the generations were lost, and descendants continue the line from Choe Seon-bo (Nangjang-gong) and Choe Yeon (Busa-gong). He is understood as a distant ancestor of Chief State Councillor Choe Hang.
The Digital Sejong Encyclopedia, Wikipedia and Namu Wiki all name Choe Cheon-ro as founder and Munha Sirang Pyeongjangsa. His earlier ancestry is not known. It is reported that Choe Heung-won left a handwritten note calling the family an old house of the Three Han, but records were lost in wars.
We could not directly confirm Choe Cheon-ro in the Goryeosa. His biography rests on genealogies and later sources and should be read as tradition. Please check with the national clan association and your genealogy.
No tomb is recorded or confirmed.
