It’s been almost a year since I first posted my message regarding my search for my mother “Suzuko Noda”. I’m still searching, but now I have the level of information that I need to make some progress if I could find someone that is willing to help me in Japan.

I’m posting the most current information I have in this message. I’m hoping that the additional information I have regarding her older brother “Tsutomu Noda” might lead me to her. If she is alive she would be 77 now which would mean that Tsutomu Noda would be older than 77.
