I am a descendant of Fukada (Frank) Kametaro born in 1874 in Chiga (Chika). I have been searching for Chiga and have just found out that the villages of Chika and Ariura merged in September 1956 to form the town of Genkai.
Fukada was the son of Fuda Kametaro. Fukada became an acrobat and juggler and went on to work all around the world with Chung Ling Soo.
I would appreciate any information on the Kametaro family, Chiga, or Genkai.
