Looking for information on any Ogawara or Miyashita family from Nagano-ken.
Soshiro Miyashita dob 2/17/1918, dod 1/30/2000 from Kurashina Chikuma City. & Matsuko Ogawara dob 3/5/1923 dod ?? from Yashiro Chikuma City were my grandparents.
He took her maiden name to keep the family name alive since there were no males on her side.
Her parents were Chiyogi Ogawara and Shigneko Kobayashi from Yashiro Chikuma City.
I don't know much more about his family except that there is one sister living still in Kurashina Chikuma City.
