hi! my grandfather shuaichi yamaguchi came to the Philippines particularly in Zamboanga City and married Nun Guldam, a native of from Zamboanga City. According to my mother, my grandfather left the Philippines 1 month before World War II and he never came back, thus my grandmother remarried to a a native Chinese which explains why my mother was carrying the family name of his step father instead of his biological father.
Honestly we dont even know the complete and correct name of our grandfather it it's shuaichi or suaichi or whether this was really his name. according to my grandmother, my grandfather used to tell him that his profession is a pearl diver.
my mother passed away last October 6, 2011 and we are left guessing of who is really our grandfather? we are also wondering if we have immediate relatives in Japan.
we tried social media but to no avail. Perhaps you can help
thanks
