Osako & Nakamoto families from Yamaguchi-ken, Murozumi-cho (present day Hikari-shi)

Posted: 4 Oct 2013 9:35AM GMT
Classification: Query
Surnames: Osako, Makiyama, Nakamoto
I am looking to contact any descendants of my great-grandparents Sengoro Osako & Natsu (Makiyama) Osako who emigrated from Yamaguchi-ken, Kumage-gun, Murozumi-cho, Ushima to Hawaiʻi in 1899 [Ushima is now part of Hikari-shi]. The Osakos settled in Honokaʻa on the Big Island and later moved to Paʻauhau. They were friends with the Nakamoto family (Sanpei & Hana Nakamoto) who were also from Murozumi-cho and the two families may have been related. The Nakamotos lived in Honokaʻa and later moved to Lahaina between 1902 and 1908. I would also be interested in contacting any Nakamoto descendants who may know about the relationship between the two families.
