In Search Of

Our Japanese Ancestors
In Japan and the United States


A number of years ago we presented a small amount of Japanese ancestry on these pages.  Due to the lack of space available and the lack of interest, we removed the lines.   Recently we have had some interest in some of the lines previously presented, so we decided to bring them back.   We will also provide a few other articles that may be of interest.   To continue this presentation, we need to have your input.

    For those interested, the following are a few links to the Japanese Internment camps of World War II.   These links provide a good example of what all of the camps were like and how the Japanese people coped with them.   Surprisingly, they seemed to accept their fate and learn to live their life the best they could.
