This will help me so much in a project for my friends, thank you
Lots of good info!
Absolutely must watch again webinar, Full of great information to assist with Japanese family history in the US.
No Japanese-American in my tree but the information was so interesting and nicely presented. Plus I used to live in Santa Maria, California and it was nice to see there is a museum there. I have also heard some of the information before about the Japanese because of the San Diego Historical Society. Thank you!
Thank for showing how to do the Japanese - American genealogy searches.. This program was very informative with lots of research sites to explore
I've known Linda Harms Okazaki since 2013, when I first attended her workshop on Finding Your Japanese Roots. Since then, we've partnered together on many occasions, including as founding members of NikkeiGen (www.facebook.com/nikkegen). Each workshop or webinar that she delivers is always so fresh and informative - and there are always new nuggets of info to take away. Thank you, Linda, for continuing to share your wealth of knowledge with all of us.
Very, very informative!!!! I would have never thought of a few of those!
Excellent and comprehensive.
