I am trying to locate more information about my Miyashiro heritage. My great-grandfather, Kamejiro Miyashiro (1894-1960), immigrated from Okinawa around 1910 to Kauai, Hawaii. We have a family koseki from Okinawa that was translated and I found out Kamejiro's father is Kametaro Miyashiro (1869-1937) and his father is Morisuke Miyashiro. I tried to send a request (with the help of the Family History Library in Utah) for the koseki of Morisuke, but it came back with a letter saying that they couldn't find it and it was most likely burned in the war. Does anyone have any suggestions of how I could get more information about my ancestry if the koseki is not available?
